“The challenge is that when one bad practice – like copay accumulators – gets struck down, the PBM’s quickly pivot to other moneymaking tactics … Different name, but same damaging effect for patients like me.” Read more from @meganaryan: https://t.co/Hv8gVPVaqi #AllCopaysCount

@meganaryan shines a light on PBM schemes in a new op-ed. “On top of the health effects that are challenging enough, piling on complicated, misleadingly worded, and deceptive practices that result in surprise medical bills is overwhelming.” https://t.co/Hv8gVPVaqi #AllCopaysCount
