Summary

The bill forces insurers, pharmacy benefit managers, and health‑maintenance organizations to allow patients receiving cancer or blood‑disease treatments to pick any pharmacy, even non‑preferred ones, for both provider‑administered and self‑administered drugs. It bans extra fees, penalties, or lower reimbursements that would steer patients toward preferred pharmacies. The change aims to improve timely access to life‑saving medications.
