So if Walmart can’t make healthcare profitable, maybe we should consider medicine differently than retail? 🤔
PBMs touted an article by an “economist” about how chain pharmacies do better because they’re “more efficient.” In fact, chains simply pay themselves more—often out of taxpayer money—because they own big PBMs.

This is a great article that Dutch posted. The article details how large insurance companies are overcharging their customers and refusing to share any claims data with them. This does not include the overcharging of the same customers for prescription medications via the PBMs…

🚨 Reimbursement by CVS Caremark to chain pharmacies is 43% HIGHER than for independent pharmacies in rural eastern North Carolina. How do rural patients get critical drugs when their local pharmacy can't fill due to PBM losses? *From 4/25 presentation NC State Health Plan mtg.
How CVS Health is gaming PrEP medication claims and fueling the spread of HIV: CVS Health is tricking pharmacies into not filling pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medication for HIV prevention through drastic, deceptive up front underpayments. Generic Truvada has an acquisition…
States & Counties should post publicly how much they are paying PBMs (from tax $$$) for brand name drugs and then open a RFP for local independent pharmacies to see what do they have to offer. It’s no brainer how much states will save on healthcare cost #healthcare #pharmacy
For those who got the @Drug_Topics spam about how 'inventory management can boost profits'. No. Smart inventory management improve your cash flow, not your profits. That $100 bottle of insulin will still come back under-cost no matter how well your inventory is.
Shame, shame @ExpressScripts. If a pharmacy had been found defrauding the postal worker's union $45 Million, the owner would be in federal prison. This is just one plan, imagine how much more money they've stolen. #TwitteRx #Pharmacy
CVS donates money to politicians to block universal healthcare, and fight to keep prescription costs high. They donated $1,661,068 last election cycle, and $573,768 so far for the 2024 election. CVS is a direct threat to public health and our financial security.

If PBMs and drug wholesalers were run by CEOs that are pharmacists, do you think this biz would be in such a mess. These CEOs only care about the bottom line. Intentionally stealing. It's time to jail these thieves.
"No"
PBM reimbursements need to swap places with pharmacy reimbursements. The PBMs should not be making hundreds of dollars from one prescription, yet they do it all of the time thru spread pricing. All while the dispensing pharmacy might make 50 cents if they’re lucky.

Due to reduced reimbursement by pbms, the average pharmacy has lost 30% of gross margin in the transition from 2023 to 2024 serving the same patients. Pharmacies can't cut that much expense to see their way to break even. Meanwhile pbm profits are skyrocketing. See the problem
When it’s cheaper for patients to NOT use their insurance benefit, we have a problem.

@pcmanet “CVS Caremark supports a rural pharmacy network… They work directly with independent pharmacies and… are reimbursed at higher rates owing to the important role they play”. REALLY? Is that why I can only fill CVS Caremark Rx’s 3 times then they have to be transferred out?
@pcmanet How about you show the major difference in reimbursements between independent pharmacies and large chains? There is a huge disparity there and probably the most likely reason so many community pharmacies are closing their doors for good. More money for you guys then, huh?

Brand Drug Companies pay massive rebates to PBMs for access to patients and market share. PBMs quest to crush pharmacy reimbursement has created an access to brand medicine crisis. @pharma needs to pivot quickly and tie rebate to pharmacy access and profitability.
