NOW is the Critical Time to Contact Congress!

The Federal Trade Commission's Tuesday (July 9) release of its preliminary report on PBM practices has intensified overall federal scrutiny of the ongoing PBM abuses and self-dealing that harm patients, drive up drug prices and keep independent pharmacies struggling to stay open.

It may seem like Congress is at a standstill on PBM reform, but key allies like U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter of Georgia (our APEX honoree and speaker last month) are working tirelessly to build support for passing reforms this year. Indicative of Congress' growing focus on PBMs is the announcement this week that CVS Caremark, Express Scripts and OptumRx have agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday, July 23.

Now is the time to add your voice to the chorus speaking out against them. Your input is vital to your elected leaders in this time of punitive reimbursements and contract offers, so please go to our Advocacy Engagement Center and use our resources to craft a letter to your congressional delegation.
