Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) continue to implement practices that limit patient choice of their preferred pharmacy and disrupt continuity of care between providers and patients, with the intent to drive business away from local pharmacies and providers. Ultimately, these PBM practices create harmful barriers to serving patients in a comprehensive and integrated manner and substantial administrative burden, adding more cost to the delivery of healthcare with little benefit to patient health or safety.

Please ask your senator to support LB 109. This legislation enacts the following policies to strengthen patient choice and access to safe, effective, and timely pharmaceuticals and limit unfair business practices by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) within our health care system:

Protecting patient choice in prescription delivery
Protecting patient choice for clinician-administered drugs (white bagging)
Eliminating unreasonable terms and conditions in specialty contracts
