Key Senate panel to consider PBM, drug pricing reform package
2 November 2023 - A key Senate panel announced it will consider more policies to regulate pharmacy middlemen and ensure patients aren’t paying more than insurers do for medications.
The package crafted by Senate Finance Chair Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) is slated to be marked up on 8 November, and includes policy on a broad range of health care priorities, including substance abuse and mental health care, and extensions to provider pay.
