Overview
In recent legislative terms, Indiana introduced several legislation aimed at promoting price transparency, lowering healthcare costs, and expanding healthcare markets. Although most of those bills introduced died in committee, the state legislature passed HB 1317 in 2018, a price transparency bill which would make it easier for pharmacists to discuss more affordable alternatives with patients. In addition, the state passed legislation to establish a comprehensive care health facility Certificate of Need (CON) program to be administered by the sate department.
