Take Action Now: Eliminate Barriers to Care for Georgia Patients

Many Georgia patients, particularly those living with chronic conditions, need consistent and reliable access to the treatments and care prescribed by their health care provider to manage symptoms, control their illness, and lead healthier lives.

However, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), or middlemen who work between health insurers and drug manufacturers to negotiate prescription drug prices continue blocking access to lifesaving health care for many Georgia patients. On behalf of the health insurance plans they represent, PBMs receive significant rebates and discounts from pharmaceutical companies for the cost of medications and treatments, but they don’t pass those savings on to the patients who need the treatments, causing Georgians to pay more out of their own pockets.

Fortunately, Georgia lawmakers have introduced House Bill 100 (HB 100), which would require PBMs to pass a minimum of 80% of negotiated rebates directly to patients.

Act now: Tell Georgia lawmakers to ensure PBM savings are shared with patients!
