Last year saw several legislative wins for community pharmacy. đŞ As we ease into 2026, letâs revisit some of the biggest champions from 2025:
1. Arkansas HB 1150: Requires a PBM to decide if they want to be a PBM or pharmacy but does not allow for bothâthe first of its kind: https://tinyurl.com/4kj64duj
2. Montana HB 740: Mandates a NADAC + $15 minimum professional dispensing fee, subject to an annual increase based on the consumer price index: https://tinyurl.com/zpddzp6e
3. Georgia HB 196: Includes a reimbursement floor with a professional dispensing fee for chain pharmacies. By keeping dispensing fees comparable, the law helps prevent inadvertent steering of patients to chain pharmacies: https://tinyurl.com/2j3sjvuh
Let's continue the momentum in 2026âour team is committed to helping pass more pro-pharmacy bills to advance community pharmacy.
