Plain-English Summary
This bill would require pharmacy benefit managers—the companies that manage prescription drug benefits for insurance plans—to disclose more information about how they set drug prices, negotiate with pharmacies, and handle patient costs. The goal is to give patients, doctors, and regulators better visibility into why prescription drugs cost what they do and how much money these middlemen are making from the system. The changes would mainly affect health insurance companies, pharmacies, and the pharmacy benefit managers themselves.
