After passing pharmacy benefit manager regulations last year, Iowa lawmakers are considering a pair of bills (HSB 99 and SSB 1074) that would require all prescription drug contracts to use a pass-through pricing model, in which PBMs charge employers, insurers or other plan sponsors the same amount the PBMs paid the supplying pharmacies, and PBMs are compensated only through administrative fees.
