Why Pharmacies Blame PBMs?
It's easy. PBMs don't work for pharmacies or manufacturers.
Very few organizations attack an industry partner in hearings and on websites like this group does. We prefer to focus on the good we bring to the consumer community. We represent unions, employers, and government. PBMs are a choice to hire. PBMs save plan sponsors and patients money.
How do I explain a PBM?
What is a PBM? PBMs administer prescription drug plans for more than 266 million Americans who have health insurance from a variety of sponsors including commercial health plans, self-insured employer plans, union plans, Medicare Part D plans, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), state government employee plans, managed Medicaid plans, and others.
