Pharmacy, Pharmacists - As introduced, changes from April 15 to October 15, the date on which the bureau of TennCare is directed to annually report to the senate health and welfare committee and the health committee of the house of representatives regarding program costs and patient outcomes related to incorporating the pharmacist-provided medication therapy management pilot program each year the pilot program is supported. - Amends TCA Title 33; Title 53; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.
HB 2557 changes the annual reporting deadline for Tennessee's TennCare program regarding pharmacist-provided medication therapy management. Specifically, it shifts the date when TennCare must report to legislative health committees from April 15 to October 15 each year. This affects the reporting requirements for the medication therapy management pilot program, which directly involves pharmacists and TennCare. The bill only modifies the timing of this existing reporting obligation without altering the program's structure or eligibility.
