AMCP Letter to CA Senate Leadership in Support of AB 2789, the Electronic Transmission of Prescriptions

AMCP strongly supports the passage of the MVP Act. Medicaid beneficiaries are among America's most vulnerable patients. Value-based payment arrangements are a critical tool for promoting patient access to high-quality, affordable care.

AMCP supports the Ensuring Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act. This bill will help ensure that Americans can continue to rely on pharmacists as essential partners in pandemic preparedness and response. The ECAPS Act will also improve patient access to tests and treatments by authorizing pharmacists to provide these services and receive reimbursement under Medicare Part B. The ECAPS Act addresses disparities in public health preparedness in medically underserved communities like rural areas by allowing these patients to seek care from their most accessible provider.

AMCP supports the Access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics Act. Expanding coverage of PDTs will improve care for millions of American patients and help standardize reimbursement practices and coding of these therapies across both public and private payers.
