The bill establishes new provisions regarding pharmacist selection and reimbursement across various health plans in Florida, including state group insurance programs, Medicaid managed care plans, and individual health insurance policies. It allows health plan members, Medicaid recipients, and insured individuals to select in-network pharmacists for services that fall within the scope of practice of licensed pharmacists. Additionally, the bill prohibits the denial of reimbursement to in-network pharmacists for services that are also covered when provided by other licensed healthcare professionals, such as physicians and nurse practitioners.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that licensed pharmacists can be counted towards network adequacy standards for access to services, ensuring that their participation is recognized in the healthcare network. The new sections created in the Florida Statutes include 110.12305, 409.91193, 409.9773, 627.64743, 627.65723, and 641.3143, which collectively outline these provisions. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
