Pennsylvania Moves Forward with PBM Reform | PBM Reform Podcast
Manage episode 436287273 series 10998
Pharmacy owner Tom DePietro, PharmD and Pennsylvania State Representative Jessica Behnam join the PBM Reform Podcast to discuss the major win for Pennsylvania tax payers and Pharmacy Care.
HB 1993 is the result of bipartisan efforts – led by state Rep. Jess Benham (D-36) – to ensure that Pennsylvanians are no longer being screwed and that access to local, independent pharmacies is maintained.
Gov. Josh Shapiro joined Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Michael Humphreys, members of the General Assembly and local pharmacists at Thompson Pharmacy in Blair County for a ceremonial bill signing of bipartisan reforms in the 2024-25 budget. The reforms aim to increase oversight of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), the hidden “middlemen” of the pharmaceutical supply chain who largely go unchecked and unregulated as they negotiate the price of prescription drugs, passing the costs down to Pennsylvanians.
Shapiro recently signed House Bill (HB) 1993 into law, providing stronger protections for commercially insured patients in the commonwealth and increasing regulatory oversight of PBMs.
