WASHINGTON, Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Auditor General's report on Medicaid and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) is undermined by failing to note a simple, but key critical element: PBMs are reducing prescription drug costs and increasing access to needed treatments for the state's most vulnerable population, the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA) said today. "The Pennsylvania Auditor General's report unfortunately is highly biased toward one special interest, the independent drugstore lobby. The report omits any mention of how PBMs are reducing prescription drugs costs and increasing access to needed medications for Pennsylvania's Medicaid beneficiaries," said PCMA President and CEO JC Scott. The following points set the record straight for each issue the report inaccurately discussed. Setting the Record Straight on Transparency
Setting the Record Straight on Oversight of PBMs
Setting the Record Straight on Independent Pharmacy Reimbursements
See PCMA's Letter to Auditor General Eugene A. DePasquale PCMA is the national association representing America's pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). PBMs administer prescription drug plans for more than 266 million Americans who have health insurance from a variety of sponsors including: commercial health plans, self-insured employer plans, union plans, Medicare Part D plans, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), state government employee plans, Medicaid plans, and others.
