ATAP Sends Letter to HELP Committee Supporting "Health Plan Oversight of Pharmacy Benefit Manager Services"

The Alliance for Transparent and Affordable Prescriptions (ATAP) consists of twenty-three patient and provider groups who are concerned about the role pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) play in our drug supply chain. As prescribers and patients, we have seen firsthand the negative effect that some of the business practices of PBMs are having on patients’ ability to access needed medications. As such, we strongly support Section 306 (“Health Plan Oversight of Pharmacy Benefit Manager Services”) of S. 1895 as reported out of the HELP Committee.
