CONCEPTUALLY SIMPLE: Independent Pharmacies are CLOSING all over the State of Florida. This map represents pharmacy closures since the beginning of 2024. On average, two pharmacies close EACH WEEK in Florida. With the push for lower cost drugs, the business model of health care is being reviewed from top to bottom with PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) garnering the most scrutiny, and rightfully so! Pharmacy Benefit Managers are the middlemen who often control patient access and reimbursements. UNDERPAID claims to pharmacies create an untenable business environment in Florida and across the US. THE SOLUTION for most businesses in this climate is to GO OUT OF BUSINESS. Look at this map and check your area. ACCESS IS ESSENTIAL and oversight of PBMs in Florida have become critical.
