Illinois HB4699 mandates large pharmacy chains to maintain a 14-day inventory and provide overnight shipping for prescriptions.
HB4699 amends the Pharmacy Practice Act to define "large pharmacy chain" and "retail pharmacy." It requires large pharmacy chains to ensure each retail pharmacy location maintains a sufficient inventory to cover patient needs for up to 14 days without restocking. If a patient attempts to fill a prescription that is out of stock, the pharmacy must provide timely mail-order fulfillment, including overnight shipping if necessary, to ensure no missed doses.
