On Wednesday, May 15, the full Texas Senate unanimously passed two pharmacy bills increasing patients' access to care. HB 3441 ensures pharmacists are paid for services that are within a pharmacist's scope of practice and that other providers are paid for providing (payment parity). HB 1757 to add pharmacists to the list of practitioners in the Insurance Code.
Pharmacy thanks Rep. Eddie Lucio III and Sen. Charles Schwertner (the only pharmacist in the Texas Legislature) for their support of this important pharmacy legislation. These two bills are now on their way to the governor's desk.
