Bill overview
This bill, the Preserving Patient Access to Long-Term Care Pharmacies Act, temporarily establishes a fee paid by prescription drug plans (PDPs) and Medicare Advantage organizations to long-term care pharmacies for dispensing certain medications to Medicare beneficiaries. The fee, set at $30 in 2026 and increasing annually, aims to support these pharmacies and ensure continued access to medication. Additionally, the bill provides subsidies to plans to cover these fees and requires a study on the long-term sustainability of payments to these pharmacies within the Medicare prescription drug program.
