Plain-English Summary

Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) are companies that handle prescription drug coverage for insurance plans, and this bill would impose new regulations on how they operate—likely including requirements around pricing, formulary decisions, and transparency. The changes would affect patients paying for medications, insurance companies, pharmacies, and the PBMs themselves. The bill has been sent to multiple House committees to review different aspects of the proposal.
