Utah Pharmacy Association

The House Ways and Means Committee approved the Main Street Pharmacy Access Act (previously ECAPS) with bipartisan support yesterday. This is the furthest this type of policy effort has advanced in over a decade—a historic moment for community pharmacy.

The bill would establish Medicare coverage for pharmacist-provided test and treat services.

Next step: The bill will go to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and then hopefully on to the full House of Representatives. Watch for opportunities to engage your representatives—we'll keep you posted as the timeline becomes clear.

Thank you to Rep. Blake Moore for his vote of support on this important item.
