What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The bill requires the Department of Health Services to provide reimbursement

under the Medical Assistance program for services that are typically reimbursable

under the program but that are provided by a pharmacist within the scope of his or

her license or that are provided by a pharmacist that were delegated by a physician.

DHS is required to seek any necessary state plan amendment or waiver necessary

to allow for such pharmacist reimbursement and is not required to provide

reimbursement if the federal government disapproves.
