Federal employees' health plans would no longer use drug managers that own pharmacies.
Currently, health plans for federal employees can use drug managers that also own pharmacies. This bill would stop the government from contracting with health plans or drug managers that have these combined ownerships. This means federal employees would get their prescription drug benefits from companies that are not linked in this way.
Today, federal health plans can contract with companies that both manage prescription drug benefits and own pharmacies. If this bill becomes law, the government would no longer be able to contract with health plans or pharmacy benefit managers that have these combined ownerships. This would separate the companies that negotiate drug prices from those that dispense the drugs for federal employees.
