Hope Charities announced October 28 that it supports H.R. 10549, the Patients Choice in Specialty Pharmacy Act, and urged Congress to advance the proposal.
The Louisiana-based organization said patients with complex or rare conditions should have more choice among qualified specialty pharmacies willing to accept their health plan's standard terms and reimbursement rates.
That position is the charity's advocacy stance. Its announcement argues that restricting pharmacy choice can disrupt access to medicines and related services; it does not establish measured outcomes from the proposed legislation.
The official introduced bill identifies Representative Neal Dunn of Florida as its sponsor and Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina as an original cosponsor. The September 24 record refers it to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
The bill's stated purpose is to amend the Public Health Service Act to prohibit certain health plans and insurers from limiting specialty-pharmacy choice. The newly announced development is Hope Charities' endorsement, rather than the bill's introduction or enactment.
