Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill creates a statewide Meds‑to‑Beds program that obligates every Maryland hospital to have a licensed pharmacist give patients their discharge prescriptions before they leave. It also permits health facilities to use automated and remote drug‑dispensing systems, lets pharmacies outsource prescription processing under strict rules, and broadens the definition of telehealth so insurers must cover services delivered through those systems. The goal is to cut readmissions, improve medication access, and ensure consistent insurance reimbursement.
