Two bills, which would allow medical professionals who aren’t doctors greater latitude in serving patients, are advancing in the Senate.
Taken together, the bills would help reduce health care costs by freeing up pharmacists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners to perform more basic services.
House Bill 96 would allow pharmacists to administer injectable drugs to patients with a prescription. Pharmacists can already give vaccines under N.C. law, such as the flu shot or COVID vaccine. Should the bill pass, the N.C. Board of Pharmacy and the N.C. Medical Board would draw rules for what sorts of drugs pharmacists would be permitted to administer and what record-keeping requirements would be needed, by April 2022 at the latest.

Biden Admin to Reverse Birth-Control Access Restrictions The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it plans to undo Title X ( ten ) family-planning program restrictions implemented under the Trump administration. Reproductive health advocates say the change will expand access to birth control in states like Arkansas.
The Biden administration has taken the first steps in the regulatory process to eliminate the domestic gag rule, which forced more than 900 reproductive-health clinics nationwide to leave the Title X family-planning program and lose major amounts of funding.
Rachel Fey, vice president for policy and strategic partnerships at the contraceptive-access advocacy group Power to Decide, said the move is essential to improving access to affordable birth control in low-income and rural communities.
