Senate votes to make dispensing fees retroactive for local pharmacies

Louisiana Senate · May 19, 2026

Summary

Senators passed House Bill 1236 to address pharmacy dispensing fees and reimbursements, making certain local pharmacy dispensing fees retroactive to Jan. 1 after a court dispute; the measure passed unanimously (34-0).

Senator Bass described House Bill 12 36 as legislation fixing the dispensing fee for local pharmacies and making the fee retroactive to Jan. 1. He said the change follows a court dispute and a determination that legislative action was needed so local pharmacies receive the correct payments.

"HB 12 36 has to do with the dispensing fee for local pharmacies. It does make the dispensing fee retroactive, but it does so back to January 1 for local pharmacies," Senator Bass said on the floor. The Senate recorded 34 yeas and 0 nays on final passage and the clerk announced the bill as passed.
