The public health law is amended by adding two new sections 2 279-a and 279-b to read as follows: 3 § 279-a. Drug assistance demonstration program. 1. The commissioner 4 shall develop a demonstration program (the "program") to provide access 5 to insulin and other life sustaining maintenance prescription drugs 6 identified by the commissioner for residents of the state who are with- 7 out health coverage, are ineligible for Medicaid or other publicly fund- 8 ed health coverage, or are otherwise determined to be eligible by the 9 commissioner and depend upon such medication for their survival. In 10 developing the program the commissioner shall: 11 (a) consider modeling the program on the state's HIV/AIDS drug assist- 12 ance program providing access to eligible individuals at certain income 13 thresholds above the federal poverty level; and 14 (b) engage with pharmaceutical manufacturers to explore a public 15 private partnership to bring affordable drugs through the program to 16 eligible individuals. EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD13323-13-0S. 6492--B 2 1 2. The commissioner shall report to the governor, the temporary presi- 2 dent of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, and the chairs of the 3 senate and assembly health committees on the available options to estab- 4 lish the program, various cost sharing models for eligible participants 5 and the related costs to the state associated with implementing the 6 program. The report shall be a public document posted on the depart- 7 ment's website. The report shall be issued no later than three months 8 after the effective date of this section. 9 § 279-b. Emergency prescriptions. 1. A health care practitioner who is 10 authorized to prescribe a drug may issue a non-patient-specific 11 prescription for the drug to a pharmacist to dispense an emergency 12 refill for an expired prescription for the drug, under subdivision two 13 of this section. 14 2. A pharmacist may dispense insulin and related supplies, or other 15 life sustaining maintenance prescription drug identified by the commis- 16 sioner, through a non-patient-specific prescription, to an individual 17 who has had a valid prescription for the drug during the prior twelve 18 month period which has since expired, on an emergency basis provided the 19 pharmacist: 20 (a) first attempts to obtain an authorization from the prescriber of 21 the patient-specific prescription and cannot obtain the authorization, 22 and the prescriber does not object to dispensing to the patient under 23 the non-patient-specific prescription; 24 (b) believes that, in the pharmacist's professional judgment, the 25 interruption of the therapy reasonably might produce an undesirable 26 health consequence detrimental to the patient's welfare or cause phys- 27 ical or mental discomfort; 28 (c) provides refill of the prescription and the quantity of that 29 refill is in conformity with the directions for use under the patient- 30 specific prescription, but limited to an amount not to exceed a thirty- 31 day emergency supply; and 32 (d) notifies, within seventy-two hours of dispensing the refill or 33 refills, the original prescriber that an emergency prescription has been 34 dispensed. 35 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
