Massachusetts H1091 aims to recognize pharmacists as healthcare providers, allowing them to perform certain tests and treatments.
Massachusetts H1091 seeks to amend state law to recognize pharmacists as healthcare providers, enabling them to order, test, screen, and treat specific health conditions such as influenza and streptococcal infections. The bill also mandates that health benefit plans cover these services without discrimination, similar to coverage for physicians or advanced practice nurses. Additionally, it requires the establishment of standard procedures for pharmacists to initiate treatment for these conditions and allows the use of waived tests under federal law.
