Easier Access to Medications for Seniors: Doctor's Office Drug Dispensing.

This law temporarily (until the end of 2030) allows physicians participating in Medicare to dispense certain outpatient prescription drugs (Part D medications) directly from their practice. This aims to improve convenience and access for seniors, provided the patient has an established relationship and recent in-person visit with the doctor. The change is subject to government oversight to prevent conflicts of interest.
Key points
Doctors can dispense specific Medicare Part D drugs directly from their offices (or via mail) between 2026 and 2030, increasing convenience for beneficiaries.
To qualify, the patient must have an ongoing relationship and a recent face-to-face visit with the prescribing physician.
The government will study the impact of this change to ensure it does not lead to over-prescribing or unfair competition among pharmacies.
