Texas SB1236 regulates the relationship between pharmacists, pharmacies, and health benefit plan issuers or pharmacy benefit managers.

Texas SB1236 amends the Insurance Code to regulate the relationship between pharmacists, pharmacies, and health benefit plan issuers or pharmacy benefit managers. It mandates that health benefit plan issuers or pharmacy benefit managers provide pharmacists and pharmacies with access to pharmacy benefit network contracts through a secure online portal. The bill prohibits charging fees before providing the full contract and restricts recoupment of funds to the dispensing fee only, barring recovery of drug costs or other amounts.
