Law Would Protect Independent Pharmacies From Pharmacy Benefit Managers State Journal-Register, The (Springfield, IL) Independent pharmacies and their customers would benefit under a Illinois bill to be debated Wednesday that would slap major regulations on intermediary companies that control what pharmacies are paid by Medicaid and private insurance plans. It s really to promote a level playing field, said state Sen. David Koehler, D-Peoria, the sponsor of Senate Bill 2008. There has to be fairness to the independent pharmacies and all the customers who need choice. Koehler said Tuesday that the bill, which has bipartisan support and is scheduled for a hearing Wednesday in front of the Illinois Senate Insurance Committee, would build upon legislation passed by the General Assembly and signed into law in 2019 by Gov. JB Pritzker that deals with companies called pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs.
