We applauds the steps toward meaningful Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) reform represented in the spending package passed on Tuesday. NPF advocates have been pushing for PBM reform for years, most recently at our October Capitol Hill Day. But we're still going to be pushing for more - especially for reforms that directly benefit patients. Next up, we need cost savings to be passed on to patients and medical decision-making put back in the hands of patients and their providers by passing the Safe Step Act to reform the practice of step therapy.
