Prohibits pharmacies from charging additional fee for processing prescriptions transmitted by telephone or electronic means.

This New Jersey bill (S 517) prohibits pharmacies from charging extra fees for processing prescriptions sent by phone or electronically, unless the same fee applies to written prescriptions. It directly affects pharmacies (by restricting their ability to add processing fees for electronic/phone prescriptions) and patients (who would no longer face these additional costs). The key provision requires pharmacies to treat electronic/phone prescriptions the same as paper ones regarding fees, promoting consistency. The bill focuses solely on this fee structure change, without altering prescription requirements or other policy elements.
