Pharmacy Access Oversight and Reporting Act

Bill 118 s 2939, also known as the Pharmacy Access Oversight and Reporting Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to establish oversight and reporting requirements for pharmacies in order to ensure access to essential medications for all Americans.

Under this bill, pharmacies would be required to report certain information to the Department of Health and Human Services, including the availability of certain medications, pricing information, and any barriers to access that patients may be facing. This information would then be used to identify areas where access to medications is limited and to develop strategies to address these issues.

Additionally, the bill would establish a Pharmacy Access Oversight Board, which would be responsible for monitoring compliance with the reporting requirements and for making recommendations to improve access to medications. The board would be composed of representatives from pharmacies, patient advocacy groups, and government agencies. Overall, the Pharmacy Access Oversight and Reporting Act aims to ensure that all Americans have access to the medications they need to stay healthy. By establishing reporting requirements and oversight mechanisms, this bill seeks to identify and address barriers to access and to improve the overall availability of essential medications.
