We appreciate @RepJuliaLetlow for her support and for taking the time to meet with our group from Louisiana! Our folks were in town for the NCPA Fly-In and met with each member of the Louisiana delegation to discuss the urgent need for PBM reform ASAP! #communitypharmacy

Time and time again, independent pharmacies have helped my kiddos when they were sick and treated us like family in moments of need. Oftentimes, they are what our rural communities rely on to get their medications. I am thankful to the Louisiana Independent Pharmacies…

It’s time for our public officials to hear from patients firsthand. The LIPA team has created a quick and easy survey for patients to share how their prescription drug healthcare has been negatively impacted by illusory PBM practices. Providers: Please share this with any…

If you agree that legislators need to do more to stop these closures, to #StopPBMabuse, & give patients choice #Retweet please❗️ @KyDems @KYGOP @GovAndyBeshear @KySenateDems @KySenate @KySenateGOP @SenateDems @SenateGOP @WhiteHouse @FTC @linakhanFTC
PBMs charged Medicaid (taxpayers) $147 for a heartburn med. PBM only paid the pharmacy $17 & pocketed $130 for themselves as payment processors. Imagine buying milk & paying the credit card co $130 for processing. Only corruption would allow this to continue. #StopPBMabuse
‼️CALL TO ACTION: Congress is in the midst of negotiations to fund the government, which could also include #PBMreform priorities. Urge your policymakers to take this chance to finalize meaningful reforms that can be signed into law. bit.ly/3I4aKZM

Just when you think you have the answers, they change the questions. Great stuff from @bobjherman on the latest scheme PBMs are using to withhold rebate dollars from plan sponsors and undermine the savings of biosimilar competition.

PBMs think that they are above the law. FTC needs to act quickly and set an example by jailing 1 corrupt CEO, that steals for a living. FTC start by looking at what the PBMs pay pharmacies for Brand Name Drugs, and how much they make on the backhand deals from manufacturers

Capping out of pocket costs sounds great and could be. It's not enough. If he doesn't pull back the curtain to see what pharmacy benefit managers or PBMs (Optum, CVS Caremark,& Express Scripts) are reimbursing themselves as they force to their own mail order/retail pharmacies,…

Patients shouldn't bear the burden of inflated drug costs due to #PBMs. @POTUS @JoeBiden @HHSGov Let's use the #SOTU as a platform to demand accountability and advocate for de-linking PBM compensation from drug list prices. #PBMReform statnews.com/pharmalot/2024…

We need Congress to perform 3 tasks 1. Pass REAL PBM reform 2. Rescind the anti-trust exemption for payers and PBMs 3. Mandate that Medicare and Medicaid negotiate the price of ALL meds to that of the average paid by Comparable other Countries
“As more communities’ pharmacies go under, and as patients continue to pay unacceptably high prices for prescription drugs, we are more determined than ever to understand how #PBMs could be causing these problems in the drug supply chain.” | @Drug_Topics ow.ly/So8t50QMyTe
