Pharmacy, Pharmacists - As introduced, permits the services authorized in a collaborative pharmacy practice agreement to include weight management services. - Amends TCA Title 63, Chapter 10 and Title 71, Chapter 5.
SB 424 would allow pharmacists in Tennessee to provide weight management services under existing collaborative agreements with doctors. This bill amends Tennessee laws (Title 63, Chapter 10 and Title 71, Chapter 5) to explicitly include weight management as an authorized service in these agreements. It directly affects pharmacists, enabling them to offer this support without needing separate physician authorization for each patient. The change takes effect upon becoming law, expanding patient access to weight management resources through pharmacy settings.
