HB 22-1246

House Bill 22-1246, which has been signed into law, allows pharmacies inside hospice inpatient units to register as specialized prescription drug outlets. This means these pharmacies can provide medications, medical devices, and pharmacist services directly to the patients staying at these facilities. The bill also allocates funding to help cover the costs associated with implementing this new registration process for these special pharmacies. This change primarily affects hospices, their residents, and pharmacy regulations in Colorado.
