This bill updates the rules for how contact lens sellers verify a customer's prescription. Online sellers must offer a way to submit prescriptions electronically, and any prescription information sent by email must be encrypted. Automated or pre-recorded phone calls can no longer be used to verify a prescription.
These rules affect online contact lens retailers and the eye care providers whose prescriptions those retailers verify. Prescribers must also provide their email address as part of the verification process.
Removing robocalls as a valid verification method changes how sellers and eye care providers must communicate during the prescription check. Requiring encryption is meant to change how personal health information travels between parties.
