Yesterday, NCPA filed public comments with the Federal Trade Commission urging it to revise and strengthen its proposed consent order with Caremark Rx, LLC and Zinc Health Services LLC. Among other things, we're concerned that while the proposed order appears to offer improved reimbursement terms for independent pharmacies, it conditions those terms on disclosure of actual acquisition cost information. We're also urging the FTC to ensure that any final order is narrowly tailored to the insulin-related claims actually alleged and remedied, and that it not release unrelated conduct involving pharmacy reimbursement, network restrictions, specialty pharmacy steering, audit practices, hub-pharmacy access, or other PBM practices affecting competition and patient access that both the FTC and Congress have identified as problematic.

“The commission can and should secure insulin-related relief without handing PBMs a litigation shield for unrelated conduct,” said Matthew Seiler, senior vice president and general counsel of NCPA. “Any final order should identify exactly what is being resolved, expressly preserve everything else, and make sure independent pharmacies are not forced to disclose sensitive business information to the very companies they compete against.”
