Senate Bill 93 and Senate Bill 99 would impose a $10.64 fee on every prescription dispensed in Alabama, costing employers and their employees millions of dollars each year.
Here are the critical points to consider:
INCREASED CONSUMER COSTS: Initial estimates of these bills show that adding a $10.64 fee on every prescription and other fees would cost consumers millions annually.
IGNORES THE CORE ISSUE: Imposing a dispensing fee fails to tackle the root problem – the exorbitant drug prices set by drug manufacturers.
IMPACT ON BUSINESSES: Alabama businesses will bear increased costs for providing prescription drug coverage and increased employee benefit costs.
Imposing a dispensing fee on prescription drugs is NOT a solution. It’s a costly burden on consumers and employers.
We at AAHC are committed to fighting against policies that increase costs and decrease access to employer-provided healthcare benefits.
