Iowa legislature reviews bills to regulate PBMs, aiming to lower drug costs and prevent pharmacy closures.
In Iowa, the legislature is reviewing bills aimed at regulating Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) to curb rising prescription drug costs and prevent pharmacy closures.
The proposed laws would require PBMs to use a pass-through pricing model and prohibit practices that restrict patient choice and pharmacy reimbursement.
Supporters argue that the bills will stop pharmacy closures and improve access to medications, while opponents warn of potential increased costs for consumers.
Meanwhile, similar protests and legislative pushes are occurring in Kansas and Indiana, with pharmacists and advocates seeking greater transparency and lower costs in the prescription drug market.
