HB 4051 expands the authority of certain healthcare providers to dispense limited prescription drugs. It modifies the Texas Occupations Code to allow physicians to provide or dispense non-controlled prescription drugs directly to patients under specific guidelines. Physicians who dispense drugs must follow record-keeping, labeling, and patient counseling requirements. The bill also clarifies that physicians providing drugs under workers’ compensation coverage must comply with additional oversight.
