ALEXANDRIA, Va. (April 16, 2021) The National Community Pharmacists Association supports legislation reintroduced by Reps. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) and Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) that would give seniors more convenient access to discounted or “preferred” copays for prescription drugs at their pharmacy of choice. The
Ensuring Seniors Access to Local Pharmacies Act (H.R. 2608) would also empower more seniors to choose the pharmacy that best fits their needs; promote transparency so that pharmacies have clear understanding of their reimbursement; and tackle conflicts of interest that exist with patient steering by pharmacy benefit managers to pharmacies affiliated with the PBM.
The legislation is among NCPA’s advocacy priorities during its annual NCPA Congressional Pharmacy Fly-In, which will be taking place virtually April 19-21.
