Behind every prescription, there’s a complex system that determines what you pay, and who profits.
Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) were created to negotiate better prices. But without transparency, they’ve become powerful middlemen that often drive costs up instead of down.
Here’s why transparency matters:
✅ It ensures patients understand where their money goes.
✅ It exposes hidden fees, rebates, and price spreads.
✅ It allows pharmacies to be reimbursed fairly.
✅ It helps lawmakers and communities demand accountability.
Right now, too many independent pharmacies are being squeezed out by practices that favor profit over care, while patients face higher drug prices and fewer local options.
Transparency isn’t just good policy; it’s the foundation for trust, fairness, and accessible healthcare.
When pricing is clear, patients win. Communities win. Pharmacies survive.
It’s time to make PBM transparency a priority. 💚
