On Dec. 10, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 8-0 that an Arkansas law regulating how PBMs and pharmacies interact could be enforced, and was not preempted by federal law. With more than three dozen other states debating or passing such legislation, the ruling could have nationwide impact.

Buddy Carter (R-Georgia); John Vinson, CEO of the Arkansas Pharmacists Association; and Scott Knoer, Executive Vice President and CEO of the American Pharmacists Association.

As a practicing Pharmacist, Diana Harshbarger could go on for days about the horrible effects Obamacare has had on the healthcare industry, as well as everyday Americans. Health insurance companies and government bureaucrats are out of control. Authority of healthcare choices should be given back to patients and healthcare providers.  While there is much work to be done to eliminate the overreaching arm of the federal government when it comes to healthcare, the first steps Diana will take in Congress will be to lower prescription drug prices, increase generic drug pricing transparency as well as increase competition among health insurance plans. These reforms will make it easier for Americans, especially our seniors, to afford their medications.

Anne CassityVice President, Federal and State Government Affairs at National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) joins Todd Eury, CEO of the Pharmacy Podcast Network, on part one of the new series:  PBM Reform Podcast Series  Pharmacy benefit managers were created as middlemen to reduce administrative costs for insurers, validate a patient's eligibility, administer plan benefits, and negotiate costs between pharmacies and health plans. Over time, PBMs have been allowed to operate virtually unchecked. A lack of transparency in PBM practices has led several states to implement licensure/registration, fair pharmacy audit, or generic drug pricing legislation to try to level the playing field for pharmacies and patients.  NCPA: https://www.ncpanet.org/advocacy/state-advocacy/pbm-reform  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Scott Kjelson, PharmD, host of the PolitiTalkRx Podcast welcomes Edward Li, PharmD, working within Health Economics and Outcomes Research to better understand the value of drugs and biologics. Today Scott & Edward dive into the topic of Biosimilars.  A biosimilar (also known as follow-on biologic or subsequent entry biologic) is a biologic medical product that is almost an identical copy of an original product that is manufactured by a different company. Congress, through the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCI Act) of 2009, created an abbreviated licensure pathway for biological products that are demonstrated to be biosimilar to or interchangeable with an FDA-approved biological product. This pathway was established as a way to provide more treatment options, increase access to lifesaving medications, and potentially lower health care costs through competition. FDA requires biosimilar and interchangeable biological products meet the Agency's rigorous approval standards. That means patients and health care professionals will be able to rely upon the safety and effectiveness of the biosimilar or interchangeable product, just as they would the reference product.

PolitiTalkRx Welcomes Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale to the Pharmacy Podcast Network discussing PBM Reform efforts in 2019.  A Pennsylvania report examining the role of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in the state called for more transparency in how they do business managing Medicaid prescriptions. Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said he wanted action to reduce Medicaid prescription costs and called for legislation to: Allow Pennsylvania to directly manage its prescription drug benefits instead of contracting with healthcare managers to do so Increase transparency into PBM pricing practices Allow state oversight of PBM contracts Require a flat-fee pricing model so that the state pays PBMs only for services rendered In 2017, Pennsylvania taxpayers paid $2.86 billion to PBMs for Medicaid enrollees, according to the state Department of Human Services, an increase of 100% in 4 years, up from $1.41 billion in 2013.
