Everybody’s payments go up as costs go up…except pharmacies who are somehow expected to operate at a loss while the middlemen prosper. All while @SenateDems & @SenateGOP sit on their hands and watch. @TomCottonAR @JohnBoozman can’t keep turning a blind eye.

From a fellow independent pharmacy: We lost $38 on Ozempic recently. Patient actually showed me his EOB from his Medicare Part-D plan. Plan paid over $1,200 PBM paid our pharmacy $876 and pocketed the spread, which was well over $300 for one drug. If you aren’t enraged by…

Make this make sense. Pharmacy purchase price $2.49. PBM contributes $0 to the transaction Patient copay $12.01 PBM then takes back a DIR fee of $86.85. Pharmacy loses $77.33 @TruthRX @pelterkevin @theangrypharm @RepJamesComer @FTC @linakhanFTC @RonWyden @SenTedCruz @mcuban

They’re gonna try to distract you with the tax cuts, and if you bring up their tearing up FOIA, they’ll say it’s in the name of security—but it’s not. It’s just not. It’s about hiding public information from the public and making it harder to hold state government accountable.

This is an excellent, sober look at why PBMs have emerged as a centerpiece of the national drug pricing debate. Lots of blame to go around at all levels but impossible avoid the harsh realities of how PBMs have distorted the market @newshourfred pbs.org/newshour/show/…

Update: Replacement med was rec’d this am. You can clearly see the negligence of @CVSHealth below. EIGHT ice paks in a larger styrofoam container today’s shipment on right & just THREE in yesterday’s shipment. PATIENT SAFETY IS NOT A PRIORITY @#cvsspecialty $10,000 wasted

Cigna's internal system can let its medical directors reject >150K claims in a month without reviewing patient files. Internal documents show the company has estimated that as few as 5% of denied patients will appeal. propub.li/3M6VEo1

Lee Mazurek had been on medication to keep his chronic disease at bay for nine years when a @Cigna employee flagged his case for review. The company estimated it could save $98,000+ if he switched parts of his treatment plan. Then came the denial. 🧵👇👇

On a recorded call, a @UHC nurse and an insurance broker laugh while discussing a patient whose claim had just been rejected. They agree that any appeal would be a waste of the family’s time and money: “We’re still gonna say no.” propub.li/3DzG5l4

I love spinning the same lie that PBM's save healthcare money. Actually, the only thing that PBM's do well is make money, and lie.
