Relating to written protocols for certain nonprescription drugs under Medicaid and civil liability related to those protocols.

This bill establishes written protocols allowing pharmacists to provide certain nonprescription drugs (like prenatal vitamins) to Medicaid recipients during pregnancy, preconception, and postpartum periods without a prescription. It requires medical directors to create protocols including pharmacy instructions, eligible recipient groups, and contraindications, with protocols expiring annually. The bill grants civil liability immunity to medical directors, healthcare providers, pharmacists, and pharmacy staff who follow these protocols correctly. It directly affects Medicaid recipients seeking pregnancy-related preventive care and healthcare providers working within Texas Medicaid.
