A new AMA analysis reveals a serious concern in healthcare:
The PBM industry is becoming increasingly concentrated, with low competition, high vertical integration, and the largest PBMs sharing ownership with major health insurers.

When a handful of corporations control drug pricing, insurance coverage, and pharmacy networks, the result is predictable:
đź’Š Rising drug costs
đźš« Reduced pharmacy access
⚠️ Less transparency and accountability

This isn’t sustainable for patients, providers, or communities.
It’s time for reform and accountability, so the system works for people, not middlemen.

đź’š Big news for Alabama!
The Senate has officially approved PBM reform, marking a win for patients and local pharmacies.

✔ Pharmacies reimbursed at Medicaid’s true cost
✔ $10.64 dispensing fee protected - PBMs can’t shift this cost to patients
✔ “Gag clauses” removed so pharmacists can share affordable options

This new law means fair competition, transparency, and patient-first care.
Effective Oct 2025–Oct 2027.

The fight for fair pharmacy practices isn’t over, but real progress is happening.

The PBM Reform Act (H.R. 4317), led by Reps. Buddy Carter (R-GA) and Debbie Dingell (D-MI), aims to:
âś” Ban spread pricing in Medicaid
âś” Ensure fair pharmacy reimbursements
âś” Decouple PBM pay from drug prices

This bill protects local pharmacies, patients, and access to care.
Your voice matters, call, email, or share to support H.R. 4317 today. đź’š

Behind every prescription, there’s a complex system that determines what you pay, and who profits.

Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) were created to negotiate better prices. But without transparency, they’ve become powerful middlemen that often drive costs up instead of down.

Here’s why transparency matters:
âś… It ensures patients understand where their money goes.
âś… It exposes hidden fees, rebates, and price spreads.
âś… It allows pharmacies to be reimbursed fairly.
âś… It helps lawmakers and communities demand accountability.

Right now, too many independent pharmacies are being squeezed out by practices that favor profit over care, while patients face higher drug prices and fewer local options.

Transparency isn’t just good policy; it’s the foundation for trust, fairness, and accessible healthcare.

When pricing is clear, patients win. Communities win. Pharmacies survive.

It’s time to make PBM transparency a priority. 💚

Ever paid two different prices for the same prescription? You’re not alone.

Here’s why it happens:
• No strict regulation on retail pricing
• PBMs set unfair reimbursement rates
• Pharmacies pay different wholesale costs
• No real-time transparency for patients

For pharmacies, this means operating at a loss. For patients, it means confusion and frustration.

It’s time for reform that ensures fair pricing, transparency, and patient-first care, not profit-first systems. 💚

Hidden PBM fees are forcing independent pharmacies to close, and patients are paying the price.

These unfair fees take resources away from the very people who keep communities healthy. When pharmacies close, access to trusted local care disappears.

Reform can stop this.
âś” Ban hidden PBM fees
âś” Protect fair pharmacy reimbursements
âś” Keep care close to home đź’š

Together, we can protect community pharmacies and the patients who depend on them.

đź’Š Reform PBMs. Reform now.

Every hidden fee is a barrier to care, and every delay in reform puts patients and pharmacies at risk.

PBMs were meant to lower drug prices, but today they profit while patients pay more. Local pharmacies are closing under unfair reimbursements and hidden costs.

It’s time for transparency, fair pay, and accountability.
Because when pharmacies thrive, patients have access, trust, and care that truly puts them first. đź’š
