Ronna Hauser, SVP Policy & Pharmacy Affairs with NCPA, joins Debbie Marcello on this legislative update Happier at Home PRN Podcast Episode.  From the NCPA: PCMA is out promoting their usual misinformation trying to portray PBMs as cost saving entities. We need YOU to set the record straight! We need you to let lawmakers know how PBMs really impact community pharmacy and your patients. We need you to advocate for common sense solutions. We have several pieces of priority legislation near the finish line and only your elected officials can make them a reality. We've been sending thousands of messages to Capitol Hill in the last few weeks and we need to send thousands more to make sure every single lawmaker hears from us multiple times. When they hear from us, they understand what's at stake. When they hear from you, they understand why it matters.

Act now, or forever wonder if you did all you could do to ensure pharmacy's future!

Tell your legislators to support the following priorities:
  • S. 2973, the Modernizing and Ensuring PBM Accountability (MEPA) Act (passed 26-1 out of the Senate Finance Committee)/H.R. 5378, the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act (passed the House of Representatives on an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 320-71)

  • Bans spread pricing in Medicaid managed care by requiring a fair and transparent Medicaid reimbursement to pharmacies and saves over $1 billion!
  • S. 3430, Better Mental Health Care, Lower-Cost Drugs, and Extenders Act (unanimously passed the Senate Finance Committee)

    • Includes the No PBMs Act which requires CMS to define reasonable and relevant contract terms in Medicare.

  • S. 127, the Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency Act (passed 18-9 out of the Senate Commerce Committee)
