A huge thank-you to Sen. @MollyforTexas (D-Houston) for being our special guest at yesterday's PharmPAC Reception during the 2026 TPA Conference & Expo in The Woodlands! It was an honor to have her meet so many #pharmacy professionals and to hear her perspective on how #pharmacists can work with her and the rest of the Texas Legislature to care for patients. #TPA2026

[NCPA @Commpharmacy]

This week, NCPA sent comments to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services responding to its request for information as it starts to write rules implementing the landmark pharmacy benefit manager reform passed earlier this year. A key piece of our point of view is that a PBM should be defined by its behavior, not by its own corporate jargon. That way, PBMs can’t escape regulation by hiring their own subsidiaries or affiliates to perform what are essentially PBM services. In other words, if it looks like a PBM and acts like a PBM, it’s a PBM.

"We know the PBMs will try to have loopholes inserted into the rules, so we are working with CMS to ensure the rules are clear and tight," said NCPA CEO Douglas Hoey. “We look forward to working with CMS as this process advances, and we are grateful for the opportunity to comment during this initial stage."

We’re excited today to welcome two respected Texas #pharmacists to the TPA staff: Mary Klein @marysueklein and Haley McKeefer @haleymckeeferx! Both bring deep expertise in health policy and #pharmacy practice. Their experience, vision, and commitment will be vital in supporting TPA’s mission to elevate the profession and advance the practice of pharmacy to care for patients. Moreover, they have both served for many years as volunteer leaders in the Association. We are thrilled to have them on board! https://t.co/BYrtxGwEEz
