Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma recently spoke on the impact that pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and their DIR fees have on pharmaceutical drug costs and our community pharmacies. We know how important community pharmacies are, especially in rural areas, and we are happy to see the government moving to make positive changes.
After you watch the explanation Sen. Lankford provides, please consider reaching out to your local legislators and encourage them to support DIR fee and PBM reform. If you have additional questions, your community pharmacy is a great resource.
