Senate moves prescription control bill forward

Senate moves prescription control bill forward By AMANDA BELAND [email protected] Thursday, March 22, 2012 CONCORD— A Senate Bill aimed at reducing doctor shopping and prescription drug abuse made its way through the Senate with ample bipartisan support. Senate Bill 286 would allow the New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy to contract with an outside vendor to establish a prescription drug database of all individuals using schedule II, III and IV prescription drugs in the state. The database would be accessible by all health care professionals, including emergency rooms officials, for use in determining whether there is a genuine need for the drugs and if those desired prescriptions were obtained by the same person elsewhere. According to Senator Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, prime sponsor of the bill, the database would allow doctors to discern “doctor shopping,” a term generally used to describe the act of receiving the same prescription medication from different doctors at the same time, either sell or feed an addiction. → Read more

Sen. Bradley: Contraception bill has long odds in state Senate

March 15, 2012 by in In The News
BY JIM HADDADIN [email protected] Thursday, March 15, 2012 DOVER — Calling access to contraception a “settled issue,” Republican Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley said a bill that would allow New Hampshire employers to stop providing health care coverage for birth control on religious grounds is unlikely to pass the Senate in its current form. The bill would amend a 12-year-old state law that requires insurance companies to pay for contraceptives such as birth control pills, as well as doctor consultations for contraception, if their insurance plans include other drug coverage. The bill was approved by the Republican-controlled House last week, championed by Speaker William O’Brien, who has said an existing state law that mandates contraception coverage limits religious freedom. “I’m not in the business of prediction at this point, but I think it’s going to be pretty hard to pass the contraception bill the way it was sent over,” Bradley said on Tuesday during a meeting with the Editorial Board of Foster’s Daily Democrat. → Read more
