Pharmaceutical Industry Administrators “Steering” Profits to Themselves, Denying Patients a Choice.
by Andrea Hartley
We have all heard about wasteful spending; but many of us are unaware of how much wasteful spending occurs in the pharmaceutical industry resulting in higher insurance premiums. Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) are third party administrators of prescription drug programs charged with the responsibility of processing and paying drug claims. They are also responsible for developing and maintaining the list of prescription drugs to be covered by a particular drug plan, contracting with pharmacies, and negotiating discounts and rebates with drug manufacturers. Today, more than 210 million Americans receive drug benefits administered by PBMs. But many are saying these PBMs are not only failing to curb waste but receiving huge profits. Many also feel that their health needs are ignored and their personal rights are being violated.
Pharmacist Bob Warner, of Americus Pharmacy, Allentown cites an example. “I had a patient bring me $5,000 worth of Chemotherapy drugs that he obtained from a mail order pharmacy. He said he was forced to buy a 90 day supply and when he tried to take the drug, he found that he just couldn’t tolerate it.”
