    Sec. 43. Disclosure of pharmacy retail price.
    (a) For the purpose of this Section:
    "Pharmacy retail price" means the price an individual 
without prescription drug coverage or not using any other 
prescription medication benefit or discount would pay at a 
retail pharmacy, not including a pharmacist dispensing fee.
    "Cost-sharing amount" means the amount owed by a 
policyholder under the terms of his or her health insurance 
policy or as required by a pharmacy benefit manager as defined 
in subsection (a) of Section 513b1 of the Illinois Insurance 
Code.
    (b) A pharmacist or his or her authorized employee must 
disclose to the consumer at the point of sale the current 
pharmacy retail price for each prescription medication the 
consumer intends to purchase. If the consumer's cost-sharing 
amount for a prescription exceeds the current pharmacy retail 
price, the pharmacist or his or her authorized employee must 
disclose to  the consumer that the pharmacy retail price is 
less than the patient's cost-sharing amount.
