Creating a right for an adult care home resident to use such resident's pharmacy of choice without being charged a fee or financial penalty by the adult care home because of such choice.

HB 2718 gives adult care home residents the right to choose their own pharmacy without facing fees or financial penalties from the facility. The bill prohibits adult care homes from charging residents for using an outside pharmacy or offering financial incentives to use the facility's preferred pharmacy. It also specifies that facilities cannot charge for repackaging medications if that cost is already reported on their financial statements. This directly affects residents of Kansas adult care homes and requires facilities to adjust billing practices.
