Health Care Inc: Prior authorization reform for prescription drugs
SHARE

The tension between the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) has escalated significantly. Last week, the FTC filed a lawsuit against the three largest PBMs in the nation – CVS Caremark, Cigna’s Express Scripts, and UnitedHealth Group’s Optum Rx. The lawsuit alleges that these PBMs, along with their secretive group purchasing organizations, have created a system of rebates that has led to a substantial increase in the price of insulin, as reported by my colleague, Ed Silverman.

In response to the lawsuit, the accused PBMs vehemently denied the allegations and shifted the blame onto insulin manufacturers. However, Rahul Rao, deputy director of the FTC’s Bureau of Competition, emphasized that the major insulin manufacturers should be aware that their participation in such practices could raise serious concerns.

The lawsuit has sparked a heated debate within the healthcare industry, with stakeholders closely monitoring the developments. The outcome of this legal battle could have far-reaching implications for the pricing and accessibility of essential medications like insulin.
