The Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) thanks the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the opportunity to provide comments in response to the proposed rule titled Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance.
On Dec. 4, Senators Mike Crapo (R-ID) and Ron Wyden (D-OR), Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Finance, introduced the PBM Price Transparency and Accountability Act (S. 3345). The bill’s introduction signifies Congress’ appetite towards passing pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) reform, with many of the bill’s provisions included in earlier reform proposals adopted at the state level. This includes bans on the use of spread pricing arrangements, delinking PBM compensation from the price of a drug, and increased transparency into PBM contracts and business practices.
AMCP offers a wide variety of educational opportunities, from events and webinars to online training.
