In Review: This week, the House Health and Human Services Committee held a hearing on HB 527 and adopted a substitute amendment that removed the majority of the original language. As it stands, the bill is now narrowly focused on Maximum Allowable Cost (MAC) standards and reimbursement requirements, with negotiations on revised language ongoing. The bill has also secured a Senate sponsor, Senator Evan Vickers (R), a pharmacist, who could influence how the remaining MAC and reimbursement provisions are shaped as the measure moves forward.
