Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed into law H.B. 25-1222, PBM reform legislation that, among its provisions, creates a reimbursement floor in the commercial market for independent pharmacies. Effective Jan. 1, 2026, the floor will be NADAC plus the state's Medicaid dispensing fee for independent pharmacies (currently $14.14) plus a 1 percent increase annually. The legislation also contains audit protections and ensures that independent pharmacies can deliver drugs to underserved communities.
NCPA was pleased to support the legislation in its committee process. Congratulations to all the stakeholders who worked on the bill!
