(a)  Upon receiving consent from the patient, a pharmacist performing a limited-function test in accordance with this chapter shall report test results to the patient’s primary care practitioner, if known, within a reasonable period of time. In the event that a patient with an abnormal test result does not have an existing relationship with a primary care practitioner, the pharmacist shall make efforts to refer the patient to a primary care practitioner, practice, health center, or clinic.

(b)(1)  The pharmacy shall develop policies and procedures for emergency situations related to the provision of limited-function health tests, to include the prompt reporting of test results to a patient’s primary care practitioner, if known.

(2)  The department shall promulgate rules and regulations to carry out the provisions of this section. The department’s rules and regulations may include the following:

(i)  Requirements for the pharmacist to inform the patient that the limited-function test results are intended for informational and educational purposes, rather than diagnostic purposes; and

(ii)  Requirements ensuring appropriate temperature and environmental controls to maintain the efficacy of the limited-function test kit.
