Addressing High Drug Prices by Reforming Pharmacy Benefit Managers. 2023

Benjamin N Rome

Recently, Congress has focused on reforms to address pharmacy benefit managers' (PBMs) role in high drug prices for patients. Congress must not excessively restrict PBMs' ability to negotiate with manufacturers; alternatively, reforms could be paired with other policies that address the high prices of brand-name drugs.
