Massachusetts S781 ensures patient adherence to medications by allowing pro-rated dispensing fees for partially filled prescriptions.

Massachusetts S781 mandates that individual or group health insurance policies providing prescription drug coverage must permit and apply pro-rated daily dispensing fees. This applies to prescriptions dispensed by a network pharmacy for a partial supply if the prescriber or pharmacist determines the fill or refill to be in the best interest of the patient and the patient requests or agrees to a partial supply for the purpose of synchronizing the patient’s medications.
