PCMA Sues Illinois Over Drug Law Affecting PBMs
The Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA) has filed a lawsuit against the Illinois Department of Insurance to exempt pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from provisions in the state's Prescription Drug Affordability Act. The law, signed by Governor J.B. Pritzker last summer, aims to increase drug pricing transparency and reform health benefits administration but is being challenged on grounds that it conflicts with federal oversight.
