Pharmacy benefit managers – or PBMs – are companies that manage prescription drug benefits on behalf of insurers, Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, large employers, and other payers.
PBM practices may be putting treatments out of reach for Patients.
BioNJ, in partnership with the New Jersey Pharmacists Association (NJPhA) and Garden State Pharmacy Owners (GSPO), developed easy-to-use materials to help Patients learn how PBMs can impact their health and take action if they face barriers to treatment.
PHARMACY PROFESSIONALS AND MEDICAL PROVIDERS – Share, print, and display these materials to drive awareness of the impact of PBM practices on your Patients and community today.
