Massachusetts H1055 prohibits gag clauses in pharmacy contracts that prevent pharmacists from disclosing prescription costs and alternative.
Massachusetts H1055 aims to protect consumers by banning gag clauses in contracts between health insurance carriers, pharmacy benefits managers, pharmacies, and pharmacists. These clauses currently restrict pharmacists from informing patients about the cost of their prescriptions and alternative, potentially cheaper purchasing methods. The bill ensures that pharmacists can freely share this critical information with insured individuals, empowering them to make informed decisions about their healthcare expenses.
