Robust PBM reforms have been close to passing Congress since last March but have remained elusive due to unrelated issues. With PBM reforms falling out of the budget reconciliation bill, we need to continue pressing Congress to include previously agreed upon reforms—particularly those that enhance transparency and ban spread pricing in Medicaid managed care programs and require CMS to define and enforce reasonable and relevant contract terms in Medicare Part D—in any legislative vehicle that moves this year!
We need you to continue to press legislators and make your voice heard! Legislators are scheduled to be away from Washington from July 25 through Sept. 2. This is a great opportunity to host members of Congress or their key staff for a visit to your pharmacy. Face-to-face meetings are the best way to convey the urgency of pushing robust PBM reforms across the finish line. Click here for resources on NCPA's Month of Action or let us know of your interest in participating by completing this interest form or by emailing Michael Rule at [email protected]. Keep the pressure on Congress to finish the job!
