In plain language

The bill urges equal reimbursement rates for pharmacies in Medicaid managed care.

This bill calls on Illinois HFS to ensure that pharmacies receive the same reimbursement for prescription drugs in managed care as in fee-for-service. It also requests that HFS monitor the effects of this change on pharmacy access and patient care.

What this means for you
  • Pharmacies: This means pharmacies are encouraged to receive equal payment rates, potentially improving their financial stability.
  • Medicaid Patients: This aims to enhance access to necessary medications for Medicaid beneficiaries.

Summary

Urges the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) to ensure that pharmacies participating in Medicaid managed care networks are reimbursed for covered outpatient prescription drugs at a rate no less than the reimbursement that would be paid under the Illinois Medicaid fee-for-service pharmacy program. Urges HFS to implement such reimbursement parity through Medicaid managed care organization contracts and pharmacy benefit manager agreements. Urges HFS to monitor and report to the General Assembly on the impact of reimbursement parity on pharmacy network participation, patient access to medications, and pharmacy closures within the State. Encourages HFS to evaluate the effect of reimbursement parity on pharmacy deserts, rural health access, and Medicaid beneficiary access to pharmacist-provided patient care services.
