Pharmacists in Michigan would be able to sell prescription drugs by mail under legislation approved late last week, according to wire service reports.
The state House also passed a bill allowing pharmacies to participate in centralized filling, where mail-order and chain pharmacies use machines to fill thousands of prescriptions per day from a warehouse.
The House voted 105-0 to approve the bill that would let in-state pharmacies fill prescriptions received by mail. Currently, those pharmacies can’t use mail-order services.
Both bills now go to the Senate for consideration. That chamber voted in February to allow pharmacies to sell and distribute prescription drugs by mail, but didn’t consider whether to allow pharmacies to participate in centralized filling.
