SB 28 - This act provides that the anti-kickback penalties specified in Section 191.905 will not apply to certain programs established by pharmaceutical companies. These programs provide financial assistance to patients with chronic, potentially disabling or life-threatening conditions who have been prescribed disease-managing medicines. A new subsection 15 specifies that certain non-profit organizations are not prohibited from arranging and seeking access for their members to needed medical care or equipment or from referring their members to physicians and nurses. These organizations must have more than five years experience in serving members with chronic, potentially disabling or life-threatening conditions. ADRIANE CROUSE
