ATAP Tours Hill to Discuss PBM Reform
On September 23, members of ATAP were on the Hill in support of Section 306 of the Lower Health Care Costs Act, which is a Senate HELP Committee bill focused in large part on surprise billing. Section 306 contains comprehensive PBM reform.
"We kept our focus on the Senate with the main goal of expressing support for inclusion of 306," said ATAP President Dr. Robert Levin. "The feedback from staff was overwhelmingly supportive with regard to the substance of section 306, which is fantastic in light of the lobbying the PBMs are doing against it."
ATAP met with staff for Senators Rick Scott (R-FL), Rosen (D-NV), Jones (D-AL), Cassidy (R-LA), Roberts (R-KS), Murkowski (R-AK), Paul (R-KY), Murphy (D-CT), Isakson (R-GA), Kaine (D-VA), Cruz (R-TX), Cornyn (R-TX), and HELP Committee Republican staff for Chairman Alexander (R-TN).
