Changes in drug reimbursement and pharmacy duties

The act introduces new rules for free drug supply for eligible persons, enables issuing pharmaceutical prescriptions for immunological products for protective vaccinations, and changes the financing rules for pharmacy on-call duties. Patients gain broader access to free medications, while pharmacies receive clearer rules for returning remuneration for unperformed duties.
Key points
Free medications: expanded entitlements for former doctors prescribing for themselves or family members, with automatic patient age verification in the IT system.
Pharmacy vaccinations: pharmacists can issue prescriptions for immunological products necessary for recommended vaccinations and administer them in the pharmacy.
Pharmacy duties: pharmacies don't have to return remuneration for unperformed duties due to force majeure or other random causes, provided they notify the powiat board and the National Health Fund within 14 days.
Emergency drug access: financing of medicines under emergency access to drug technologies from the Medical Fund.
