OKLAHOMA CITY â A bill working its way through the Legislature will significantly increase prescription drug costs, said a major health care company that works with hundreds of Oklahoma pharmacies, but others disagree, saying the measure would lead to lower costs and easier access.
Leanne Gassaway, CVS Health vice president of state government affairs, said Senate Bill 821 would not allow her company to offer any kind of lower cost options for enrollees using a mail-order pharmacy.
