An Act relative to specialty medications and patient safety

This bill amends state insurance laws to protect patients and providers by regulating how specialty pharmacies handle complex medications for Commonwealth employees. It mandates that insurers cannot force patients to self-transport these drugs to clinics and allows home infusion services without requiring external infusion sites. The legislation also establishes strict safety standards for pharmacies delivering medications to healthcare facilities, including requirements for same-day delivery, temperature control, and accreditation. Additionally, it prohibits insurers from requiring certain high-risk drugs to be sent to clinics and ensures that providers receive fair payment for administering these medications.
