Pharmacists across the state are urging Governor Hochul to approve a bill aimed at increasing transparency in pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) operations, citing significant financial losses when filling prescriptions. The proposed legislation seeks to address concerns over hidden fees and unclear pricing practices that disproportionately affect independent pharmacies. Advocates argue that without reform, smaller pharmacies may continue struggling to stay operational amid mounting financial pressures. The push highlights broader tensions between pharmacists and PBMs over cost control and fair reimbursement.
