NACDS is going all-out for pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) reform in the federal and state governments.
At the federal level, NACDS is making it unmistakable: PBM reform is must-pass legislation in the 118th Congress. See NACDS’ major new cable TV and digital advertising campaign urging comprehensive PBM and Congressional action — without delay.
At the state level, NACDS is collaborating with in-state partners to urge the enactment of PBM reform laws – as well as their implementation, enforcement, and oversight.
Massachusetts is among the current hotbeds of activity.
