§ 4729.38. Selecting generically equivalent drugs or interchangeable biological products
Status: in_force

April 6, 2017 House Bill 505, Senate Bill 319 - 131st General Assembly (A) As used in this section, "biological product," "finished dosage form," "generically equivalent drug," and "interchangeable biological product" have the same meanings as in section 3715.01 of the Revised Code. (B) Unless instructed otherwise by the person receiving the drug pursuant to the prescription, a pharmacist filling a prescription for a drug prescribed by its brand name may, subject to the following conditions, select a generically equivalent drug, or, in the case of a drug that is a biological product, select an interchangeable biological product: (1) The pharmacist shall not select a generically equivalent drug or interchangeable biological product if either of the following applies: (a) In the case of a written or electronic prescription, including a computer-generated prescription, the prescriber handwrites or actively causes to display on the prescription "dispense as written," "D.A.W.," "do not substitute," "brand medically necessary," or any other statement or numerical code that indicates the prescriber's intent to prevent substitution. Such a designation shall not be preprinted or stamped on the prescription, but a reminder to the prescriber of the designation procedure may be preprinted or displayed on the prescription form or electronic system the prescriber uses to issue the prescription. (b) In the case of an oral prescription, the prescriber specifies that the drug as prescribed is medically necessary or otherwise indicates the prescriber's intent to prevent substitution. (2) The pharmacist shall not select a generically equivalent drug or interchangeable biological product unless its price to the patient is less than or equal to the price of the drug as prescribed. (3) The pharmacist or the pharmacist's agent, assistant, or employee shall inform the patient or the patient's agent if a generically equivalent drug or interchangeable biological product is available at a lower or equal cost and of the person's right to refuse the drug selected. Division (B)(3) of this section does not apply to any: (a) Prescription that is billed to any agency, division, or department of this state which will reimburse the pharmacy; (b) Prescriptions for patients of a hospital, nursing home, or similar patient care facility. (C)(1) Unless the prescriber instructs otherwise, the label for every drug dispensed shall include information that meets the following requirements, using abbreviations as necessary: (a) Except as provided in divisions (C)(1)(b) and (c) of this section, the label shall include the dispensed drug's brand name. (b) If the drug dispensed has no brand name and is a generically equivalent drug, the label shall include the generic name of the drug and the distributor of the finished dosage form. (c) If the drug dispensed has no brand name and is an interchangeable biological product, the label shall include the name of the interchangeable biological product, the manufacturer, and if the distributor is not the same as the manufacturer, the distributor of the finished dosage form. (2) When dispensing at retail a drug that is a generically equivalent drug or interchangeable biological product for a drug prescribed by its brand name, the pharmacist shall indicate on the drug's label or container that a substitution was made. (3) The labeling requirements established by divisions (C)(1) and (2) of this section are in addition to all other labeling requirements of Chapter 3715. of the Revised Code. (D) A pharmacist who selects a drug that is a generically equivalent drug or interchangeable biological product pursuant to this section assumes no greater liability for selecting the dispensed drug than would be incurred in filling a prescription for a drug prescribed by its brand name. (E) The failure of a prescriber to restrict a prescription by indicating an intent to prevent substitution pursuant to division (B)(1) of this section shall not constitute evidence of the prescriber's negligence unless the prescriber had reasonable cause to believe that the health condition of the patient for whom the drug was intended warranted the prescription of a specific brand name drug and no other. No prescriber shall be liable for civil damages or in any criminal prosecution arising from the substitution of a generically equivalent drug or interchangeable biological product for a prescribed brand name drug by a pharmacist, unless the prescribed brand name drug would have reasonably caused the same loss, damage, injury, or death. (F)(1)(a) Except as provided in division (F)(1)(b) of this section, not later than five business days after a pharmacist dispenses a drug for which an interchangeable biological product is available, regardless of whether a substitution is made, the pharmacist or an individual designated by the pharmacist shall communicate to the prescriber information identifying the specific biological product that was dispensed, including the name of the biological product and its manufacturer. (b) Communication of the information is not required when a biological product is dispensed by refilling a prescription and the product that is dispensed is the same product that was dispensed when the same prescription was last filled or refilled.

Status: in_force

July 1, 2003 Senate Bill 262 - 124th General Assembly (A) As used in this section: (1) "Aggrieved party" means a person who has sustained actual and direct losses in an auction transaction involving a person licensed under this chapter due to conduct by the licensee that is described in section 4707.15 of the Revised Code or that otherwise violates this chapter or rules adopted under it and that is associated with an act or transaction that only a licensee lawfully may perform. (2) "Offending licensee" means a person licensed under this chapter who fits either of the following descriptions: (a) Against whom an aggrieved party has obtained a final judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction and whose failure to pay all or a portion of the judgment results in a payment to the aggrieved party from the auction recovery fund; (b) Whose conduct has resulted in a payment from the auction recovery fund to an aggrieved party under section 4707.26 or 4707.31 of the Revised Code. (B) If the director of agriculture makes a payment from the auction recovery fund to an aggrieved party and the license of the offending licensee has not been suspended or revoked under section 4707.15 of the Revised Code, the license automatically is suspended on the date on which the payment is made. The director shall provide the offending licensee an opportunity for an administrative hearing on the suspension in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code. The director shall not reactivate the suspended license until the offending licensee has repaid in full, plus interest per annum at the rate specified in division (A) of section 1343.01 of the Revised Code, the amount paid from the fund to the aggrieved party. A discharge in bankruptcy does not relieve an offending licensee from the suspension provisions and requirements for reactivation of a license that are established in this section. When the director has paid from the fund any sum to an aggrieved party, the director shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the aggrieved party to the extent of the amount of the payment that the aggrieved party received from the fund. If the aggrieved party obtained a final judgment against the offending licensee in a court of competent jurisdiction, the aggrieved party shall assign all of the aggrieved party's right, title, and interest in the judgment to the director to the extent of the amount of the payment that the aggrieved party received from the fund. The director shall deposit into the fund any amount and interest recovered by the director from the offending licensee. With respect to the amount of a payment that the director has paid to an aggrieved party from the fund and has not recovered, the director shall have a priority lien in front of all other interested creditors against the assets of an offending licensee who files bankruptcy. The lien shall be deemed to have taken effect on the date that the offending licensee entered into a contract in accordance with section 4707.20 of the Revised Code with respect to the auction transaction out of which the payment from the fund arose. Disciplinary action taken under this section against an offending licensee and the recovery of moneys from an offending licensee for deposit into the fund shall not excuse the offending licensee from any other disciplinary action to which the offending licensee may be subject under this chapter or any other provision of the Revised Code or rules adopted under it.

Failure to provide service of process to the Commission shall render a judgment or order void as to the Commission, this Compact, or promulgated rules. B. Default, Technical Assistance, and Termination 1. If the Commission determines that a member state has defaulted in the performance of its obligations or responsibilities under this Compact or the promulgated rules, the Commission shall: a. Provide written notice to the defaulting state and other member states of the nature of the default, the proposed means of curing the default and/or any other action to be taken by the Commission; and b. Provide remedial training and specific technical assistance regarding the default. 2. If a state in default fails to cure the default, the defaulting state may be terminated from the Compact upon an affirmative vote of a majority of the member states, and all rights, privileges and benefits conferred by this Compact may be terminated on the effective date of termination. A cure of the default does not relieve the offending state of obligations or liabilities incurred during the period of default. 3. Termination of membership in the Compact shall be imposed only after all other means of securing compliance have been exhausted. Notice of intent to suspend or terminate shall be given by the Commission to the governor, the majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state's legislature, and each of the member states. 4. A state that has been terminated is responsible for all assessments, obligations, and liabilities incurred through the effective date of termination, including obligations that extend beyond the effective date of termination. 5. The Commission shall not bear any costs related to a state that is found to be in default or that has been terminated from the Compact, unless agreed upon in writing between the Commission and the defaulting state. 6. The defaulting state may appeal the action of the Commission by petitioning the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia or the federal district where the Commission has its principal offices. The prevailing member shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including reasonable attorney's fees. C. Dispute Resolution 1. Upon request by a member state, the Commission shall attempt to resolve disputes related to the Compact that arise among member states and between member and non-member states. 2. The Commission shall promulgate a rule providing for both mediation and binding dispute resolution for disputes as appropriate. D. Enforcement 1. The Commission, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, shall enforce the provisions and rules of this Compact. 2. By majority vote, the Commission may initiate legal action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or the federal district where the Commission has its principal offices against a member state in default to enforce compliance with the provisions of the Compact and its promulgated rules and bylaws. The relief sought may include both injunctive relief and damages. In the event judicial enforcement is necessary, the prevailing member shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including reasonable attorney's fees. 3. The remedies herein shall not be the exclusive remedies of the Commission. The Commission may pursue any other remedies available under federal or state law. SECTION 11. DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY PRACTICE AND ASSOCIATED RULES, WITHDRAWAL, AND AMENDMENT A. The Compact shall come into effect on the date on which the Compact statute is enacted into law in the tenth member state. The provisions, which become effective at that time, shall be limited to the powers granted to the Commission relating to assembly and the promulgation of rules. Thereafter, the Commission shall meet and exercise rulemaking powers necessary to the implementation and administration of the Compact. B. Any state that joins the Compact subsequent to the Commission's initial adoption of the rules shall be subject to the rules as they exist on the date on which the Compact becomes law in that state. Any rule that has been previously adopted by the Commission shall have the full force and effect of law on the day the Compact becomes law in that state. C. Any member state may withdraw from this Compact by enacting a statute repealing the same. 1. A member state's withdrawal shall not take effect until six (6) months after enactment of the repealing statute. 2. Withdrawal shall not affect the continuing requirement of the withdrawing state's physical therapy licensing board to comply with the investigative and adverse action reporting requirements of this act prior to the effective date of withdrawal. D. Nothing contained in this Compact shall be construed to invalidate or prevent any physical therapy licensure agreement or other cooperative arrangement between a member state and a non-member state that does not conflict with the provisions of this Compact. E. This Compact may be amended by the member states. No amendment to this Compact shall become effective and binding upon any member state until it is enacted into the laws of all member states. SECTION 12. CONSTRUCTION AND SEVERABILITY This Compact shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate the purposes thereof. The provisions of this Compact shall be severable and if any phrase, clause, sentence or provision of this Compact is declared to be contrary to the constitution of any party state or of the United States or the applicability thereof to any government, agency, person or circumstance is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this Compact and the applicability thereof to any government, agency, person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby. If this Compact shall be held contrary to the constitution of any party state, the Compact shall remain in full force and effect as to the remaining party states and in full force and effect as to the party state affected as to all severable matters.
