DOVER, DE- In Delaware, the state is gearing up to protect consumers and local pharmacies from price hikes from pharmaceutical providers.
Senate Bill 219 passed unanimously in the legislature and is set to be signed by Governor John Carney.
The Bill would allow the state’s Department of Insurance to go after Pharmacy Benefits Managers companies that act as an in-between for prescription drug plans, deciding if plans will be covered and how much they will cost.
The DOI says often times these companies act as a roadblock charging higher rates than the national average to make more money off of consumers.
