Aimed Alliance has published a new resource highlighting pharmacy benefit manager (PBMs) practices and proposed reforms to ensure transparency in health care affordability and prescription drug pricing reform. PBMs are powerful middlemen in the health care system that manage prescription drug benefits on behalf of insurers. While PBMs were originally created to streamline pharmacy benefits and help lower drug costs, their growing influence and lack of transparency have raised serious concerns about affordability, access, and fairness. This resource is designed to help patients, providers, and health care advocates understand the role of PBMs, how they impact drug costs and access, and why reform is needed. It also explains how PBMs operate, the challenges they pose, proposed reforms, and where those reforms have been adopted across states. View the resource here.
