An Act relative to prescription medication transfer and availability

Summary

The bill lets a pharmacist at one location of a pharmacy chain move a prescription to another location of the same chain when the original store is out of stock, provided the drug, dosage and quantity stay the same and the patient consents. It also permits a 60‑ or 90‑day refill extension if needed and bars payment for medically necessary non‑generic drugs when no generic substitute exists. The measure affects patients, pharmacists, and insurers by improving access and reducing out‑of‑pocket costs.
