Our collective will and intellects are being called upon to manage COVID-19, save Louisiana lives and restore our economy. During this public health emergency, it is crucial that every sector of our health care system steps up to the challenge. America’s pharmacy benefit managers have a key role to play. PBMs manage prescription drug plans for hundreds of millions of Americans –including thousands here in Louisiana – who have health insurance. We connect physicians, pharmacies and payers to work together to serve patients. We also work with the rest of the drug supply chain to look ahead to mitigate shortages and maintain access to medications.
