26 Tex. Admin. Code § 554.1502 - Choice of Pharmacy Provider
(a)
Unless the facility is paying for the drugs and biologicals, the resident's
choice of pharmacy provider and any changes in his choice must be recorded on
appropriate forms maintained by the facility.
(b) A Medicaid-certified facility must have
written agreements with its provider pharmacies that define required services.
These agreements will not be considered to abridge the resident's freedom of
choice of pharmacy services when they require labeling, packaging, and a
drug-distribution system according to facility policy. The drug-distribution
system must be accessible to all pharmacies willing to meet the distribution
system requirements. The agreements must require the following:
(1) that the resident's pharmacy services be
provided by a pharmacy on a 24-hour basis for emergency medications;
and
(2) that the resident's
medications be delivered to the facility on a timely and reasonable
basis.
(c) The
resident's choice of pharmacy provider must be in accordance with §
554.406(c) of Title 40 (relating to Free Choice).
