How do we control drug costs, particularly generic drugs that account for 80 percent of prescriptions? This year Kentucky became the first state in the nation to enact a generic drug pricing transparency bill that provides the state's 500+ independent community pharmacies information on how large corporate health plans or their agents--i.e., pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)--calculate generic drug reimbursement payment levels (aka "maximum allowable costs" (MACs)) to retail pharmacies as well as timely updates to those payment levels to reflect market prices. The bill also establishes an appeals process when disputes occur over the payment levels. Read more.
