BioUtah, in collaboration with a patient advocacy coalition that includes life sciences leaders, pharmacists, physicians, oncologists, and community organizations, hosted a productive lunch meeting with Reps. Blake D. Moore (R-Utah) and Celeste Maloy (R-Utah) on Oct. 1. The discussion focused on how pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) are driving up drug costs and restricting where patients can purchase medications. The event took place at the Utah Cancer Specialists administrative offices. Earlier that day, local and federal leaders, including FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak, met with Utah Pharmacists. We are thankful to Reps. Moore and Maloy for their commitment to addressing PBM practices that negatively impact patient care. Together, we continue to advocate for meaningful PBM reform. #PBMreform #BioUtah #UtahLifeSciences #HealthcareReform More: https://ow.ly/WaM650TEz82
