It was an honor to share the independent pharmacy perspective at yesterday’s congressional subcommittee hearing on PBM policies. Thank you @HouseCommerce / @EnergyCommerce for having me. I implore Congress — pass PBM reform as soon as possible! #FinishTheFight@Commpharmacy
Glad to be at the Hahira Honeybee Festival this week before heading to Orlando next week for #NCPA2023! Looking forward to seeing my #communitypharmacy colleagues. It isn’t too late to join us! To register, visit https://t.co/bO6TbKxLvf.
‼️ NCPA loudly applauds a class action lawsuit filed against vertically consolidated CVS Health, Caremark, and Aetna that aims to recoup millions of dollars in what the lawyers say are wrongful DIR fees.

Thank you @GOPoversight@OversightDems for having me. It’s an honor to represent #communitypharmacy and share how we see PBM practices impacting our patients and our businesses. I agree with @RepJamesComer — I don’t think transparency alone will suffice! PBMs must be reformed.
NCPA President Hugh Chancy is testifying today at a House Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing on the role of PBMs, which should kick off at 10 a.m. ET. You can tune in on the committee's website. https://t.co/xze19dtzY7
🚨 H.R. 5378, the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act, is scheduled for a vote in the House today! You can let your representative know you support this bill and it’s Medicaid managed care payment reform provision through our Legislative Action Center: https://t.co/cnXd9m4vBI
❕❕ Following advocacy from NCPA and others, @US_FDA announced a one-year delay of enforcement of DSCSA interoperability provisions. This will help ensure all sectors of the supply chain are prepared and prevent unintended consequences to patient care. https://t.co/vPZCvwV7Cv
#NCPAPrez Hugh Chancy and his team member (and son) Patrick want to see YOU at #NCPA2023!

👏 #PBMreform passed @SenateFinance/@SenFinance 26-1! Package would enhance transparency, improve patient access to #communitypharmacy, and ensure fair reimbursements based on actual acquisition and dispensing costs. It also has language from S. 1038 and S. 2052, NCPA priorities.
‼️ @FTC voted to warn against relying on prior PBM-related advocacy items that are outdated and no longer reflect the current marketplace. We applaud this outcome, which effectively removes a major line of defense for PBM-insurers when opposing #PBMreform. https://t.co/OrMlXhKjVq
NCPA is encouraged by draft updated @FTC/@TheJusticeDept merger guidelines released today, and by tomorrow's vote when FTC may warn against relying on prior PBM-related statements. We're at a tipping point @RPhDouglas says, and these actions are promising: https://t.co/atKfBA64Zr
Prof. Karl Fiebelkorn at University of Buffalo was the NCPA adviser helping Kathryn Seelman and her team win the 2007 Pruitt-Schutte Student Business Plan Competition. She and her husband later used the plan to open their first pharmacy and now have two locations. What a success!
More from the convention — @RepBuddyCarter discussed momentum for his bill in Congress; a strong contingent of NCPA presidents attended; and @RPhDouglas shared a @Commpharmacy update with the Academy of Independent Pharmacy. It was a pleasure having these folks at the meeting!
Lots of great things going on at the Georgia Pharmacy Convention in Amelia Island! Here’s my recap from yesterday’s events, with more to come today. @GeorgiaPharmacy@Commpharmacy@RPhDouglas
