Virginia lawmakers pass bipartisan bill to reform PBMs, banning forced pharmacy use, requiring fee transparency, and mandating rebate savings be passed to consumers.
A bipartisan group of Virginia lawmakers is advancing legislation to reform pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) by banning them from forcing patients to use specific pharmacies, requiring transparency in fees, and mandating that rebates be passed directly to consumers.
The bill, led by Delegate Katrina Callsen and supported by Republican Delegate Otto Wachsmann, passed unanimously in both chambers amid growing concerns over rising drug costs, pharmacy closures, and lack of accountability in the prescription drug system.
If signed by the governor, the law could significantly impact drug pricing and access across the state.
