Today we're releasing our new TV ad — "PBM Career Day" — highlighting the position PBMs have carved out for themselves as drug middlemen and their illogical and confusing role in health care. It's part of our #FinishTheFight campaign, which is designed to shed light on harmful PBM practices, mobilize the public to demand change, and push policymakers to finalize PBM payment reforms, NCPA CEO Douglas Hoey says. “It is time for transparency and accountability in the health care system.” For assets you can download and use in your own pharmacies and social media to help spread the word, click here: https://bit.ly/3Vl1oyZ Let's finish the fight!

Have you joined our #FinishTheFight campaign? We’ve come so far in advocating for fair reimbursements and better contract terms for pharmacies, and Congress is closer than ever to passing payment reform legislation. This is a historic moment — let’s make it count with this final push and get your patients involved! We’ve made it simple to access campaign resources and get your patients involved in #PBMreform. We’re asking every pharmacy to get 10 to win – get 10 patients to send a message to Congress. Every message counts. 💪 Let’s finish this fight! 🖊️ Get involved at https://bit.ly/10-2-win. #pharmacy #communitypharmacy
