Another state, another lawsuit against the PBMs

NCPA July 22, 2024

Last week, Vermont’s attorney general sued PBMs Evernorth (owner of Express Scripts) and CVS as well as nearly two dozen affiliated entities for “unfairly and deceptively driving up prescription drug prices in Vermont.” (Read more in this news release from the Office of the Vermont Attorney General.) With this and with Gov. Phil Scott (R) recently having signed into law legislation to strengthen PBM reform and oversight, folks in the Green Mountain State sure seem to be fed up with PBM-insurer shenanigans! We are too. As a reminder, you can use NCPA’s PBM Complaints tool to push your own state to enforce the policies on the books. The more legitimate, fact-based complaints they receive, the more likely they are to investigate and ENFORCE the law.
