What this bill would do

The PrEP Access Act seeks to amend the Social Security Act to allow Medicare Part B to cover certain HIV prevention services provided by pharmacists. These services include evaluation, management, screening, consultation, counseling, medication administration, and clinical diagnostic laboratory tests related to pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis. The bill specifies that these services must be legally authorized under State law. It also establishes a specific payment structure for these services. Additionally, the act includes a prohibition on balance billing for pharmacists providing these services. These changes are set to take effect for services furnished on or after January 1, 2027.
