Washington, DC—APhA is deeply concerned about the ongoing reports of pharmacy closures, which primarily highlight the inconvenience of losing a local prescription source. However, this issue extends far beyond inconvenience; it jeopardizes access to trusted pharmacists, particularly in rural and underserved communities

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) announced the start of a new consumer-focused campaign to end the harmful practices of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). 

The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) applauds the introduction of the Drug Price Transparency in Medicaid Act, which would reign in PBMs’ unfair and anticompetitive business practices that are harming the viability of our nation’s pharmacies.
