Iowa HF213 regulates pharmacy benefits managers, pharmacies, and prescription drug benefits by prohibiting certain practices.

Iowa HF213 amends the Code to regulate pharmacy benefits managers (PBM) and pharmacies. It prohibits PBMs from requiring covered persons to purchase pharmacy services exclusively through mail order pharmacy providers. The bill also ensures that covered persons cannot be prohibited from filling a prescription drug order at any pharmacy in the state, provided the pharmacy accepts the same terms and conditions as those in the covered person's health benefit plan's network.
