Big News For TN Residents

Big news for patients in Tennessee!

Hi, I’m Matt Windham, a pharmacist with the Belew Drugs Family of Pharmacies. I want to share an important update about a law that went into effect in 2023 regarding your right to choose your pharmacy.

Tennessee's "Any Willing Provider" law ensures that patients have the freedom to choose any in-network pharmacy—without being steered toward mail-order or a preferred provider by their pharmacy benefit manager (PBM).

Here’s what this means:

• PBMs cannot restrict your choice of pharmacy if the pharmacy is in-network.

• They can’t deny a pharmacy's request to join the network, if the pharmacy is willing to meet the same terms.

• PBMs cannot offer lower copays to encourage you to use one pharmacy over another.

This law helps create a level playing field and protects your freedom to work with the pharmacy you trust.

📌 Note: This law does not apply to Medicare, TennCare, or TRICARE plans.
