An Act to Ensure That Rebates from Prescription Drug Manufacturers Are Passed on to Patients at Pharmacies

Also relevant to:Senior (65+, Medicare/SS)
Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill requires that rebates from prescription drug manufacturers be passed directly to patients at pharmacies to lower their out-of-pocket costs. It removes a previous option for these rebates to go to the insurance carrier instead. Pharmacy benefits managers and carriers must report annually on how they comply, and the Superintendent of Insurance can fine those who do not follow the rules.
