Plain-English Summary
This bill would give pharmacists more power to negotiate directly with federal employee health insurance plans instead of having insurance companies act as middlemen, potentially lowering costs for both pharmacists and federal workers. The change would allow pharmacists to have a say in how much they get paid for filling prescriptions and what services they can provide under these government health plans. Federal employees and retirees who use pharmacies could see better access to pharmacy services and potentially lower out-of-pocket costs for medications.
