With no financial transparency, big #PBM, including CVS caremark can pay less, clawback $ and drive community pharmacies out of business, taking $ from the community. Along comes CVS offering to buy up indie pharmacies after they financially destroy them. It's wild that this…
Tell me again how the Big 3 PBMs negotiate with and support independent pharmacies. #Pharmacy #PBMabuse @JusticeATR @linakhanFTC @POTUS
@HokiePharmacist Been doing it. Caught a pbm diverting an employer plan pt to a discount card not applying $ to their deductible. Pt was pissed, and the pbm ended up issuing a new plan ID to the pt because they knew they were caught red-handed ripping off the employer and the pt.
@DrugChannels @GoodRx Just like the PBMs, GoodRx is nothing more than another scheme to profit off the back of consumers and plan sponsors while helping to drive independent pharmacies out business. Have you no shame Adam?
@DrugChannels @GoodRx goodrx is not a friend of pharmacy, and their unholy collaboration with cvs caremark is just another way to steal money from pharmacies and patients.

Congress can swiftly vote to ban TikTok, but can’t seem to agree upon the fact that Pharmacy Benefit Managers are robbing everyone by the Billions every year behind a veil of secrecy. Won’t be long before every state in America will be coming for these greed stricken bastards.
Get your popcorn ready for this one 🍿 Can’t wait to hear what @UnitedHealthGrp has to say about how they’ve found yet another way to ruin healthcare and run physician practices into bankruptcy, then offer to buy them out. All stemming from a problem @UnitedHealthGrp created.

Where are the cardiovascular nonprofits? Do they understand Eliquis can be on formulary, yet still be inaccessible to heart patients due to PBM’s discriminatory, below cost reimbursement policies.

@matthewstoller @HokiePharmacist Why can’t they force @CVSHealth @OptumRx @ExpressScripts @Humana @Cigna to divest or at least pay #Independentpharmacy a fair share?!! Stores close every day because they force customers to their stores and pay us the least!!
Some hard working pharmacists in North Carolina are looking to educate State health plan officials on the harmful practices of PBMs. Thank you guys!!! @bobrawls74 mailchi.mp/nctribune/apri…
This is clearly a concerted effort by Big INS to destroy privately owned pharmacies and medical practices so only a few will remain. This is quite concerning. Pts don’t understand the risk this poses for them. You need your doctors and pharmacists to be independent.

What did NC's pharmacists ask of the NC State Health Plan Trustees as leaders of the largest purchaser of health care in NC? See below. Full slide deck from presentation & mtg video (soon) found here: shpnc.org/board-trustees… cc @TruthRX 8/
Revealing statement of the day: Since this is a state plan 'most everything we do is public, but I don't think we can make drug pricing public.' As long as corporate PBM practices are allowed to remain opaque, we will never be able to make fully informed policy decisions.
@BethWaldron @SteveMooreRx @pcmanet assures everyone that PBMs are looking out for everyone behind the scenes. Yet, everytime someone opens the curtains, they see PBMs engaging in self-dealing and price gouging. It's why they hate transparency.
Chain pharmacies are being paid 43% more than independent pharmacies and are STILL closing at a rapid rate. Imagine just how dire it is for independent pharmacies right now. #TwitteRx #Pharmacy
When the business model of buying and selling drugs is predicated on differential pricing and arbitrage, public disclosure of how spreads are harvested can be an existential threat to the model; hence why big PBMs won’t be publishing their real prices anytime soon.

🚨 Reimbursement by CVS Caremark to chain pharmacies is 43% HIGHER than for independent pharmacies in rural eastern North Carolina. How do rural patients get critical drugs when their local pharmacy can't fill due to PBM losses? *From 4/25 presentation NC State Health Plan mtg.

@pelterkevin @BrandiChane @UnitedHealthGrp They will say we are fortunate that UHG owns Change healthcare or this would have been worse and that they will resurrect Change to an even better form of itself (these are statements they have already made in advance of the hearings - there is one coming in the House too)
@DrBruggeman @BrandiChane @UnitedHealthGrp Disgusting. As much revenue as @UnitedHealthGrp makes per quarter, one would think they would have one of the best cyber security departments out there. Now millions of personal medical data is compromised.
@linakhanFTC @GOPoversight @OversightDems PBMreform needs to happen now. PCMA and their clients have crossed all possible limits of lies, deception and robbery. They must be stopped immediately. PBMS DO NOT NEGOTIATE

@BethWaldron It’s pathetic. Unaffordable for so many Medicare patients
@BethWaldron People assume chains by at better prices and that independent pharmacies can't compete based on price. Evidence shows it is just corruption making it difficult.
