The PBM Accountability Applauds Congressional Committee Focus on Prescription Drug Supply Chain

Ahead of the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee's hearing on “Lowering Health Care Costs for All Americans” today, PBM Accountability Project Managing Director Mark Blum sent a letter to thank members for their work to advance comprehensive reforms of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and other insurance middlemen, and continued efforts to lower healthcare costs and ensure access to prescription medicines.

“Your hearing series on healthcare affordability is a critical opportunity to build on this momentum and to examine how each link in the prescription drug supply chain affects what patients pay at the pharmacy counter. Congress now has growing public support and momentum from both legislative progress and enforcement actions to move forward with additional reforms. We urge you to use this hearing to advance additional comprehensive insurance middlemen reforms that restore accountability in the prescription drug supply chain, lower out-of-pocket costs at the pharmacy counter and protect the patients and communities who depend on a fair and functioning system.”
