@orlandosentinel In theory yes biosimilar landscape should reduce costs. But when PBM sets rebated formulary and the brand gives rebate under biosimilar cost plan sponsors don’t save on those products. Remove all rebates from drug spent and you’ll achieve lowest cost.
@BrashearsRx Send where the other 8 were filled or have him future fill the other 8 in 2 weeks and put on cycle for future fills. Unless it’s WellCare then don’t bother
@SafeMedicines@BoesingLoretta Stelara initial dose is in office infusion then every 56 days thereafter so you’ll continue to take losses on those refills. The question really is why are plans paying WAC-5% on all specialty as you’ll notice it’s not just those two products.
@SafeMedicines@BoesingLoretta We dispense both. Florida Medicaid managed care plans like Sunshine pay WAC-5% so you’ll take a significant loss based on COGs at WAC-2.5%. But it depends on the managed care plan.
@KDuanePharmD@A_Ciaccia@costplusdrugs@slupkin@mcuban@alexosh Also checked Climara and we haven’t purchased brand since 2017 so don’t see a plan sponsor receiving rebates on that product either. Cash price is around $40 for that as well. I’m genuinely confused but that’s not uncommon these days.
@pcmanet Breaking news! Guy employed by the foxes says there’s no problem with foxes guarding the henhouse and what’s the big deal anyway and why are we even talking about all this!
@redlgb1969@pharmacists@APhACEO Exactly, let’s add more to chain pharmacists workload and metrics. More unattainable expectations from corporate. Not to mention the provider status will undoubtedly be a small percentage of the physician rate that is already low.

With the Governor’s leadership and support, we passed the nation’s largest PBM reform effort contained to a single bill. It brings price transparency, lower costs, and support to our locally owned, small business pharmacies relied on by millions of Floridians.
Thanks Victoria for reporting on this very important issue to patients and small business. Great work Chris Cutolo thanks for representing @TheFPARx Academy of Independents. @JagsGatorsFish
