From the Senate to the NCPA studio

NCPA July 28, 2026

podcastNCPA member Micah Lansford sits down for a tell-all conversation on the Independent Rx Forum podcast after giving testimony on the Tricare pharmacy program and how Express Scripts — the exclusive administrator of the program — appears to be pushing independent pharmacies out and driving business to itself.

Hosted by NCPA Associate Director of Congressional Affairs Kaite Krell, this episode tackles the ins and outs of participating in a congressional hearing. Lansford shares what it's like to work with the office of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), provides insight on the future of Tricare, and even divulges some gossip straight off the dais.
