Please call your legislators now and urge them to support the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026 and pass much-needed PBM reforms! The bill is coming to the floor for a vote in both chambers of Congress (later this week in the House and next week in the Senate). Help us secure the passage of the biggest reform to Medicare Part D in the past 20 years.
The bill includes provisions that would:
-
Require CMS to define reasonable and relevant contract terms, including those related to reimbursements, in the Part D program.
-
Establish a mechanism for pharmacies to report contract violations.
-
Introduce a designation for “essential retail pharmacies” which will allow CMS to track payment trends to pharmacies deemed essential and their inclusion in PBM networks.
-
Give CMS the tools and resources to enforce contact standards.
