The Texas Pharmacy Summit, consisting of eight Texas pharmacy organizations, moved another step closer this week in its effort to establish a comprehensive legislative agenda for the 2019 Texas Legislative Session.
Summit members discussed legislative strategy for key pharmacy issues including expanding access to care through additional patient-care services pharmacists can provide and payment for these services, expansion of immunization authority by pharmacists, Medicaid managed care and value-based purchasing, pharmacy benefits managers, distribution of repackaged or compounded drugs to hospital pharmacies, as well as the role pharmacists can play in the opioid epidemic impacting communities.
Summit members discussed a variety of legislative strategy topics.
