California lawmakers are on track to pass a bill (SB 966) in the coming weeks regulating pharmacy benefit managers. The measure would prohibit PBM practices as steering patients to PBM-affiliated pharmacies and “spread pricing,” charging insurers or drug plans more than the cost of reimbursing pharmacies. It would also require PBMs to regularly disclose information about their business practices to the state’s Department of Insurance.
