A coalition called Texas Employers for Affordable Medications notes that under state law, physicians in Texas can only provide prescription medications in conjunction with an indigent pharmaceutical program for physicians practicing in rural areas, if a patient is in "immediate need," or to dispense pharmaceutical samples. House Bill 1622, filed by state Rep. Tom Oliverson (R-Houston), would allow physicians to provide or dispense certain non-controlled medications but not any controlled substances listed in Schedules II–V. It would also require physicians, prior to dispensing the drugs, to let the patient know that the prescription could be filled at a pharmacy. Rep. Matt Shaheen (R-Plano) has filed House Bill 460, which would also allow physicians to dispense the drugs and charge patients for the medication. That bill is currently pending in committee. Texas Employers for Affordable Medications says giving physicians greater leeway to provide medications would increase accessibility and convenience for patients while helping reduce drug costs. The proposed legislation would include drugs such as antibiotics, prescription ibuprofen, and other short-term generic medications. However, Texas Pharmacy Association CEO Debbie Garza warns: "Pharmacists know all the medications a patient is taking and how those medications interact. They are trained in the side effects. Physicians do not necessarily have the full patient medication history or depth of knowledge of various medicines."
