House Floor Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
720 ILCS 570/314.5

Further amends the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. Provides that any pharmacist feedback, including grades, ratings, or written or verbal statements, in opposition to a clinical decision that the prescription of a controlled substance is not medically necessary shall not be the basis of any adverse action, evaluation, or any other type of negative credentialing, contracting, licensure, or employment action taken against a prescriber or dispenser. In a provision allowing pharmacists to authorize a designee to consult the Prescription Monitoring Program on their behalf, defines "pharmacist" to include a clinical pharmacist employed by and designated by a Medicaid Managed Care Organization providing services under the Illinois Public Aid Code under a contract with the Department of Health and Family Services for the sole purpose of clinical review of services provided to persons covered by the entity under the contract to determine compliance with the Act (in the introduced bill, defines "pharmacist" to include, but be not limited to, a pharmacist associated with a health maintenance organization or a Medicaid managed care entity providing services under the Illinois Public Aid Code). Provides that a managed care entity pharmacist shall notify prescribers of review activities.
