The intent of HB 32 is to have a uniform prescription card implemented to expedite the amount of time a pharmacy technician spends gathering necessary information from the insurance company in order to process the insurance claim. Pharmacists are spending a disproportionate amount of time trying to address reimbursement issues rather than serving the health care needs of their customers. HB 32 would allow for more face-to-face care between pharmacists and patients. It would also minimize confusion, eliminate unnecessary paperwork, decrease administrative burdens, and streamline the dispension of prescription products paid for by third party payors.
