SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Preventive pharmaceutical services for certain low-income patients. Requires the Commissioner of Health to establish, by January 1, 2005, a mechanism whereby any public health clinic operated by a local or district health department that maintains pharmacy services shall continue to provide free or low-cost prescription drugs (on a sliding fee scale) to any low-income patients who do not have any prescription drug benefit and whose primary and specialty health care services have been transferred to a community health clinic delivering free or reduced price services to such patients at the recommendation of the public health clinic. However, any such patients shall be required to obtain prescription drugs from pharmaceutical companies' free or reduced price programs in so far as possible.
