“I created this network to support pharmacists who are some of the most underutilized healthcare providers in our healthcare system and can help lower high drug prices spiraling out of control,” Eury said, “As medication experts, pharmacists can perform medication reviews to ensure patients are safe and taking the right medication, the right dose, and collaborate with primary care to ensure the therapies prescribed are the best choices.”
The National Community Pharmacist Association’s (NCPA) VP of Government Affairs, Anne Cassity, took part in the ‘PBM Reform Podcast’, focused on restructuring the way pharmacy benefit managers work with insurance programs, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and pharmacists to lower the cost of medications for millions of Americans.
Recently, state Medicaid systems, policymakers, and national pharmacy associations expressed concerns that certain PBMs’ business practices may not be consistent with public policy goals to improve the value of pharmaceutical spending. The PBM Reform Podcast Series is all about changing the way prescription medications get paid for.
