Kudos to @StateRepManley & @repThadeusjones for fighting for transparency when it comes to PBMs, independent pharmacies & patients. Multiple. @truthrxillinois members were cheering you on in the meeting room & across the state. Thank you for continuing to dig into this problem!
In American HC, we not only have ‘too big to fail’, we have ‘so big we don’t have to follow law and order’ “ Among those PBM, ( the ones that control 94% of the market) none have complied”

Due to unchecked corporate integration, the Change data breach "could cover a substantial proportion of people in America". UHC's words. Yet UHC skipped the Congressional hearing about it? Unacceptable.
State of NC is asking for public suggestion on how to lower drug costs. When CVS Caremark was awarded the state employee PBM contract costing $3.395 billion over 3 years, they promised big drug savings due to their "purchasing power" with "superior service & support." 🤔

This sudden payment drop is unconscionable. It's clear that PBMs are trying to push owners out of business by destroying cash flow. @TruthRX #TwitteRx #Pharmacy
@repThadeusjones Thank you Chair Jones for the dedication to IL patients & small pharmacies that you showed in the PBM hearing today. “PBMs are disrespecting us!” has been our battle cry for far too long. Thank you for shedding light on their greedy actions!
"Payviders" When insurance companies also own the provider groups, insurance companies are able to keep about half of the premiums they've received by the federal government. youtu.be/UP_WmSz8QdQ?si…
We are just starting a PBM subject matter hearing & PCMA has already lied to the committee, trying to pass blame into the plan sponsor. Kudos to the IL Dept of Insurance for setting the record straight & Chair Manley for allowing this necessary discussion.

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

@DennisByron99 @HarmacyFilm @KR_inAR @BrandiChane @TruthRX @mcuban @HokiePharmacist @theangrypharm @BoesingLoretta @realdocspeaks That’s great man. Hey listen, when mail order sends your meds, why don’t you go ahead and ask the fedex guy about interactions and to double check the doc’s dosing? Removing the community pharmacist from the system is what’s best for your oligopoly right? “Our time has past”
They say pharmacies have negotiating power…in what world? @RepBuddyCarter @SenMullin @linakhanFTC @ExposingPBMs @TruthRX @BoesingLoretta @BrandiChane @pelterkevin @HokiePharmacist @IndyRxVoice @DButterfieldRPh
GoodRx states they now also contract directly with pharmacies via "discount card pricing agreements informed by acquisition cost-based pricing." But they only list chains as pharmacies they contract with. Please explain how this is evolution🙄 drugchannels.net/2024/04/how-go…

Wow Express Scripts dropped brand reimbursement on GHI by over 13% this month From AWP-20.7% to AWP-32.85. So on a meager $600 drug you lose $100. Great work @NY_Pharmacists @Commpharmacy
@TruthRX looks like we found another legislative patient champion!
@repThadeusjones Thank you Chair Jones for the dedication to IL patients & small pharmacies that you showed in the PBM hearing today. “PBMs are disrespecting us!” has been our battle cry for far too long. Thank you for shedding light on their greedy actions!
You are continuing to build on the work @AndyManar & Leader Harris started in 2019 to regulate PBMs & allow IL to put patients over profits! It was an honor to be there in person today to show support for my fellow independent owners & patients!

We are just starting a PBM subject matter hearing & PCMA has already lied to the committee, trying to pass blame into the plan sponsor. Kudos to the IL Dept of Insurance for setting the record straight & Chair Manley for allowing this necessary discussion.
Medicare Part D PBMs are cleverly steering business to their own pharmacies. How?… by forcing independent pharmacies out of network by only offering below cost contracts or burdening them with impossible credentialing, audits and compliance. @HHSGov @CMSGov @FTC @linakhanFTC
Hello @AnthemBCBS @ElevanceHealth rcd note from #Anthem member ‘cannot express strongly enough how much we appreciate Dr. Baak flipping out on social media on (Patients name) behalf.’ THIS is healthcare. ONLY when MDs flip out do patients get care.
THIS👇👇👇👇is spot on. Insurance networks are both the arsonist & firefighter. #Healthlink @ILSecOfState employees of IL state have slim pickings in HealthLink.
My staff approached me because the prior auths are getting overwhelming. With one patient, they spent 90 min trying for PA and still couldn't get approval. Their solution is to hire more staff. Given we're a small FP office, we don't have that budget. The system is broken 1/
@HokiePharmacist @TruthRX @ExpressScripts Apparently, the existing transparency standards are worthles and don’t come close to being comprehensive enough.
