NCPA Director of Policy and Regulatory Affairs Steve Postal recently presented a webinar entitled “PBMs and Their Role in Drug Costs” to the National Association of Nutrition and Aging Services Programs. Steve discussed the history of PBMs, how PBM practices harm pharmacies and patients, and the PBM reform initiatives NCPA supports in Congress. If you missed the NANASP webinar, you can check out the slide deck here. “PBMs make money from almost every player in the prescription supply chain, including the patient, yet they never touch a medication,” Steve says. “And this harms small business pharmacies — leading to pharmacy deserts.”
