Facilitating the prompt replacement of defective continuous glucose monitoring equipment.

HB 1850 requires pharmacies - both physical locations and mail-order services - to maintain sufficient supplies of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors. This ensures patients with diabetes can quickly get a replacement sensor when their equipment malfunctions or in an emergency requiring immediate use. Physical pharmacies must provide same-day replacements, while mail-order pharmacies must mail replacements by the next business day (or as soon as possible if not feasible). The bill directly affects diabetes patients who rely on CGM devices and the pharmacies that dispense them, creating a clear requirement for timely sensor access without altering insurance coverage or funding.
