A bill that would apply many of the PBM reforms adopted in Medicaid to commercial and state employees’ plans has been introduced. SB 188 is sponsored by Sen. Max Wise (R), a longtime advocate of PBM reform. A few of the provisions included in this comprehensive bill include: a NADAC and Medicaid Dispensing Fee rate floor, anti-steering and anti-mandatory mail order language, a broad definition of specialty pharmacy and a formula to determine network adequacy.
