RX Common Sense Bill New York Health Works

The Rx Common Sense Bill

The Rx Common Sense Bill protects patients like you with added prescription drug benefits that make common sense. The bill puts people and patients first, offering easier and faster access to your medications, more choice in how you receive them and by promising that you’ll receive all the facts when it comes to medicine options.

INCREASE ACCESS TO MEDICATION

We believe all patients should have access to the health care and medication they need to stay healthy. The bill helps to make sure that you get the medications prescribed by your doctor, and that your right to those medications isn’t affected by changes in insurance coverage lists, access guidelines or medication substitutions (that might happen without you or your doctor’s knowledge).

PROTECT CHOICE IN HOW MEDICATIONS ARE RECEIVED

We believe patients should receive their medication in the way that’s best for them and their family. We understand that just because a mail-order delivery method may be convenient for some, it does not mean it is always what’s best for you. The Rx Common Sense Bill helps to give patients choice over how medications are received.

SUPPORT TRANSPARENCY BETWEEN PATIENTS AND HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

We believe that it’s the job of a patient’s doctor, health insurance company and pharmacist to answer questions and to help you to understand and manage your care. The Rx Common Sense Bill helps to make sure that you get all the facts when it comes to your medications, including when you can get your medications at less cost.
