Take a look at the PBM Report from the House Oversight Committee. AffirmedRx is proud to be a Public Benefit Corporation focused on making drugs more affordable for Americans 💊 AffirmedRx CEO, Greg Baker is quoted: “It is possible to operate a PBM, restrain costs for the employer and taxpayers while still providing the best pharmacy care available. But changes must be made to require greater transparency and allow for greater competition for this to happen.” Key Findings: - The three largest PBMs have used their position as middlemen and integration with health insurers, pharmacies, providers, and recently manufacturers, to enact anticompetitive policies and protect their bottom line. - PBMs frequently tout the savings they provide for payers and patients through negotiation, drug utilization programs, and spread pricing, even though evidence indicates that these schemes often increase costs for patients and payers. - The largest PBMs force drug manufacturers to pay rebates in exchange for the manufacturers’ drugs to be placed in a favorable tier on a PBM’s formulary, making it difficult for competing, lower-priced prescriptions (often generics or biosimilars) to get on formularies. - As many states and the federal government weigh and implement PBM reforms, the three largest PBMs have begun creating foreign corporate entities and moving certain operations abroad to avoid transparency and proposed reforms. - The largest PBMs’ use of tools such as prior authorizations, fail first policies, and formulary manipulations have significant detrimental impacts on Americans’ health outcomes. - The anti-competitive policies of the largest PBMs have cost taxpayers and reduced patient choice.

The Federal Trade Commission just released a report highlighting many of the problems of the Big 3 PBMs. The TLDR version – Big PBMs use opaque practices focused on their bottom line, not helping your company save money. Transparent PBMs, like AffirmedRx, work to show you how to save money and help your employees. #AffirmedRx #PatientsOverProfits #FederalTradeCommission https://lnkd.in/dB67WRqk
