House Bill 614 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 56-7-3111, to enhance the confidentiality of information shared between pharmacies and pharmacy services administrative organizations. The bill replaces the last sentence of the section with new provisions that require any organization or entity receiving shared information to not disclose it to third parties. Additionally, these organizations must comply with a pharmacy's written request to destroy the shared information within five business days of receipt.
This legislation aims to strengthen the protection of sensitive pharmacy information, ensuring that it remains confidential and is handled appropriately by third-party entities. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding pharmacy services and the information they manage.
