AI Summary

The Equitable Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act aims to enhance access to healthcare services by allowing Medicare beneficiaries in medically underserved areas to directly access certain services provided by pharmacists. The bill enables pharmacists to offer services such as vaccinations, chronic disease management, and screenings without requiring a physician's referral. This legislation seeks to improve healthcare access, especially in rural and underserved communities, by leveraging the expertise of pharmacists and expanding the range of services they can provide independently.
