I don't know why a prescription for birth control pills is even still required. Seems like this is a long overdue change and should be done throughout the country.
HB 2879 was a concept developed by Rep. Knute Buehler, R-Bend, who led a work group in hopes of allowing pharmacists to prescribe and dispense birth control without requiring the patient making an appointment or seeing her doctor first.
The Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Board of Pharmacists would create the rules and protocols, including training, a self-screening test and notifying the patient’s primary care provider.
