The Tennessee Pharmacists Association (TPA), National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) and American Pharmacists Association (APhA) jointly filed an amicus brief in federal court supporting Tennessee’s 2021 law regulating PBMs. The law, aimed at protecting patient choice and pharmacy access, bans PBMs from practices like patient steering and excluding pharmacies from preferred networks. The case stems from a challenge by McKee Foods arguing that the law is preempted by the federal ERISA statute.
