Resolve, Directing The Department Of Health And Human Services To Amend Its Rules Regarding Pharmacy Services

This bill directs the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to update its rules to allow reimbursement for pharmacists who provide medication consultations and evaluations to MaineCare members via telehealth or home visits when standard technology is ineffective. The legislation authorizes specific funding for these services through 2027 or until the state can establish a direct reimbursement program within the MaineCare system. Additionally, the bill requires the department to report progress on implementing these rule changes and pursuing direct reimbursement to the legislature by November 2024 and December 2026.
