In Review: A bill requiring PBMs to reimburse pharmacies at the greater of NADAC or their acquisition cost and pay them a $10.18 dispensing fee now has sponsorship in both the Senate and Assembly. S 9570 sponsored by Senator Neil Breslin (D), and A 10327 sponsored by Assemblyman John McDonald (D), have been assigned to the health committees of both chambers. PCMA will prepare a memo of opposition. S 2393-B/A1962-A requires health insurers to attest that 85% of a drug rebate is passed-through to patients at the point-of-sale. The bill will be heard in the Senate Insurance on Monday, May 20. Its Assembly counterpart has not yet been scheduled for a hearing in the insurance committee.
