Protecting Pharmacies in Medicaid Act Summary
The Protecting Pharmacies in Medicaid Act would prohibit the use of spread pricing arrangements in Medicaid programs. Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) would be required to pass through to pharmacies the full amount of the money paid to the PBMs by Medicaid programs, except for a fixed administrative fee. The total reimbursement amount will be determined by a survey of national average drug acquisition costs administered by the Department of Health & Human Services.
