CVS/Aetna Merger’s Impact
on New Jersey’s Independent Pharmacies
Many of IPA’s New Jersey members have inquired what protections their stores will have when or if the CVS/Aetna merger is finalized. New Jersey’s “Any Willing Pharmacy Law” is one of the strongest in the country and provides the majority of protections that were reported in other states.
New Jersey “Any Willing Pharmacy Law” P.L.1999, c.395 requirements for health plans providing benefits for pharmacy services
- Permits the enrollee, at the time of enrollment, to select benefit coverage allowing the enrollee to choose a pharmacy or pharmacist for the provision of prescription drugs or pharmacy services.
- Provides that no pharmacy or pharmacist shall be denied the right to participate as a preferred provider or as a contracting provider, under the same terms and conditions currently applicable to all other preferred or contracting providers.
- Provides that no copayment, fee, or other condition shall be imposed upon an enrollee selecting a participating or contracting pharmacist or pharmacy that is not also equally imposed upon all enrollees selecting a participating or contracting pharmacist or pharmacy.
- Provides that no enrollee shall be required to obtain pharmacy services and prescription drugs from a mail service pharmacy; provides for no differential in any copayment applicable to any prescription drug of the same strength, quantity and days' supply, whether obtained from a mail service pharmacy or a non-mail service pharmacy, provided that the non-mail service pharmacy agrees to the same terms, conditions, price and services applicable to the mail service pharmacy.
If you have any questions, please call Anthony Reznik at IPA @ 800-575-2667.
