Let's say you have a plan that says you should have a 20% copay. If you were charged $25.15 for a prescription that costs $35.41 would you be upset? Sadly, this is what is happening to our patients with a common local plan on a regular basis.

We need your help! Please contact Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay's office at 518-455-3751 or by email BarclayW@nyassembly.gov to ask him to cosponsor Assembly Bill A5228B.

This bill would force PBMs to reimburse pharmacies a fair amount on commercial insurance claims. Pharmacies are closing left and right and this bill can save pharmacies from closing and leaving their communities without a pharmacy.

Please also thank John Lemondes For Congress for already cosponsoring our bill! lemondesj@nyassembly.gov or 518-455-5878

Thank you!

Stop in and get your eye exam here instead of driving to and dealing with the outrageous lines at the DMV.

A small $10 convenience fee applies.

Another small town in upstate NY is losing its pharmacy. It’s sad that PBMs are allowed to continue paying pharmacies below cost. It doesn’t make sense that busy businesses with strong community support continue to close for no fault of their own. It’d be nice if our legislators and governor finally stood up to the PBMs and passed the legislation pharmacies have been proposing for years to avoid situations like this.

This is why PBMs should not be allowed to own pharmacies. They put retail pharmacies out of business through low reimbursements. Then market to those patients to switch to their mail order pharmacy. There’s a clear conflict of interest.

Thank you to those that contacted our state representatives regarding legislation that would force commercial plans to reimburse pharmacies fairly. Unfortunately, the state government failed to act and pharmacies will continue to regularly be paid far below our cost. Pharmacies will continue to close through out NYS and many communities will lose access to a local convenient healthcare provider. Below is a great article discussing this issue.

Village Apothecary’s Neal Smoller explains how PBMs bleed small pharmacies dry—and why a stalled NY bill could be the lifeline independents need to survive.
