More pharmacy rules include authorized pharmacists
Beginning July 1, 2025, Tennessee adds pharmacists authorized under § 63-10-204 to rules that already include veterinarians. Those pharmacists receive the same treatment under §§ 53-10-104(a) and 53-10-105(a), (b)(2). The law also adds pharmacists described in § 56-32-129 alongside certified nurse midwives under § 56-32-137. Another pharmacy rule, § 63-10-219(e), now forbids a prohibition instead of requiring it. The supplied text does not identify that activity or explain these changes' specific effects on patients.
Insured patients lose contraceptive fee protection
Beginning July 1, 2025, Tennessee removes an administrative fee exemption for patients whose insurance pharmacy benefit covers hormonal birth control. These patients no longer have that protection against paying the fee. The law does not require a fee or set its amount. Patients may face an added charge if a fee is otherwise imposed.
