An Act ensuring access to specialty medications

This bill establishes a licensing system for specialty pharmacies in Massachusetts that dispense complex medications (like those for cancer or autoimmune conditions). It requires these pharmacies to designate a lead pharmacist who must register with the state, maintain detailed records of dispensed drugs, and report changes annually or after updates. Insurance companies must allow any licensed pharmacy to provide specialty drugs under the same payment terms and cannot block access to these medications. The law directly affects specialty pharmacies (including out-of-state providers needing a license), pharmacists in charge, and insurers, ensuring consistent access to specialty medications within Massachusetts.
