AHF Raises Concerns About Express Scripts Lawsuit over PBM Practices
In a significant move, AHF raises pressing concerns about the recent lawsuit filed by Express Scripts to retract a critical report on pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). This lawsuit coincides with the FTC's readiness to take legal action against the three largest PBMs, targeting an array of anticompetitive practices that have been known to distort the prescription drug market in favor of drug middlemen.
The ramifications of such legal actions are profound, not only for stakeholders within the healthcare industry but also for patients who rely on equitable drug pricing. The timing of the lawsuit raises questions about transparency within the PBM sector and the necessity for regulatory updates to protect consumer interests.
