An Act providing for a medical exemption for manufacturer coupons

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow individuals who cannot medically use a specific prescription drug to use manufacturer coupons for that medication instead. The provision directly affects patients whose doctors determine they cannot take the standard generic version of a drug, as well as their primary care practitioners. Under the new rule, these individuals must provide written proof from their doctor stating that the generic equivalent is medically unsuitable for them. This change aims to ensure patients can still access necessary medications through manufacturer coupons when standard generic options are not viable for their health conditions.
