JOHNSTOWN, Pa. \u2013 Pennsylvania\u2019s 2026-27 budget package signed Sunday by Gov. Josh Shapiro includes an amended fiscal code that opens the door for patients to return to their local pharmacy of choice.<\/p>\n
A provision that protects pharmacies from arbitrary health plan network terminations was shaped by grassroots support for Martella\u2019s Pharmacy over the past year, said legislators who negotiated the provision into the fiscal code.<\/p>\n
