This bill requires pharmacies in Tennessee to inform patients about the lowest available cost for their prescription drugs before completing a sale. When a customer requests to fill or renew a prescription, pharmacists must make reasonable efforts to notify them of cheaper options, such as generic versions or discounts available through various programs and suppliers. The law applies to all authorized dispensers of prescription drugs and aims to increase transparency regarding pricing alternatives.
