After targeting pharmacy benefit managers for years for contributing to the high cost of prescription drugs, state lawmakers have begun setting their sights on pharmacy services administrative organizations, or PSAOs, which help independent pharmacies negotiate with drug wholesalers. Virginia enacted a bill (HB 2375) last month that requires PSAOs to report their reimbursement rates. Arkansas lawmakers passed a bill (SB 475) this month aimed at regulating PSAOs. And legislation dealing with PSAOs is also pending in Mississippi, New York and Oregon. (PLURIBUS NEWS, LEXISNEXIS STATE NET)
