Missouri HB2645 modifies provisions relating to payments for prescription drugs.

Missouri HB2645 modifies provisions relating to payments for prescription drugs by establishing a duty for pharmacy benefits managers to disclose material facts and actions to health benefit plan sponsors. This includes notifying sponsors of the covered person's cost share for a prescription drug, the cost of an alternative drug, and the cost of the drug without adjudicating the claim. The bill also prohibits pharmacies and pharmacists from being restricted from discussing such information or selling a more affordable alternative to the covered person.
