Picture
According to the National Community Pharmacists' Association (NCPA), pharmacy benefit managers (PBM) have a non-transparent business model that can add hidden costs and lead to higher prices in prescription drugs.

This allows them to make a higher profit! Check out the Tampa Bay times article below to find out how House Bill 351 is trying to ensure PBMs are operating transparently with patients.
