Coloradans may soon be able to fill prescriptions via a video screen and a pre-loaded dispensing machine, thanks to a bipartisan bill that sailed through the House earlier this month. Just don’t call them vending machines.
, would be pre-loaded with prescriptions, already counted and filled. A live human pharmacist, connected via video link, would consult with the patient and clear the way for the medicine to be dispensed. Current regulations around prescriptions — like double-counting of pills and ID checks for controlled substances — would still be in effect, said bill sponsor Rep. Dafna Michaelson Jenet, a Commerce City Democrat.
“If you work a regular schedule and then you have to come home and maybe feed the children, at the end of the day, you’ve missed the pharmacy hours,” Michaelson Jenet said. The bill passed the House with 58 aye votes and just four noes. It has Republican cosponsors and is set for its first Senate hearing in late March.
