October 19, 2023 PBM Reform Efforts Stalled in Congress | PBM Reform
In the Senate, there are 3 committees that have advanced legislation on PBM reforms, with leadership supporting a floor vote before the end of 2023. In the House, a consolidated bill was released in September and although there are plans for a full House vote, they are stalled due to the current issues in Congress.

There are 3 key jurisdictions and proposed plans of the Senate that focused on in the session: The Finance Committee, including Medicare and Medicaid; the Health, Education, Labor, and Pension (HELP) Committee, including plans that regulate under the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act and the Affordability Care Act; and the Commerce Committee, including interstate commerce and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

The Finance Committee Package includes the prohibition of spread pricing in Part D for Medicaid and Medicare managed care. The Part D rebates must also be passed through the prescription drug plan sponsors, used to lower the costs for prescription drugs with a 100% pass-through in Medicaid managed care, according to Andel.
