Senate panel advances bill that would ban spread pricing

Despite pushback from Republicans, a key Senate committee has advanced a bill that aims to reform pharmacy benefit managers, including a ban on spread pricing.


The PBM bill was among four passed by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) committee on Thursday, one day after the senators heard input from major PBM and pharmaceutical manufacturer executives. The HELP committee approved the bill by a vote of 18 to 3.
