Big win for independent pharmacies in Louisiana! 💪💊

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has announced a $45 million settlement of three cases with CVS Health and its PBM subsidiary. Each case addressed allegations of manipulative tactics harming independent pharmacies and the funds will be directed toward PBM accountability and pricing reform.

For our members, this matters. Community pharmacists like you have been fighting against the consequences of PBM practices, and this settlement is a meaningful step toward the systemic change the profession needs. You are the backbone of health care in your community and deserve a level playing field!

Read the full story:

The lawsuits were filed during a series of high-profile legal and political battles that pitted Murrill and Gov. Jeff Landry against the health care giant.
