Ohio HB12 establishes patient rights to try drugs, including off-label use, with informed consent.
Ohio HB12, the Jeff, Dave, and Angie Patient Right to Try Act, allows prescribers to issue prescriptions for drugs, including off-label use, with patient or personal representative consent. Pharmacists, hospitals, and inpatient facilities must dispense or administer these drugs if no objections exist. The bill protects professionals from liability, except for gross negligence, and mandates disclosure of out-of-pocket costs. It also safeguards free speech for health care professionals and prohibits interference with patient transfers or discharges.
