Politicians did not come up with this bill. It was drafted by the APA (Alabama Pharmacy Association) and APCI (American Pharmacy Cooperative Initiative). It is asking the PBM to take some out of their pocket to make the pharmacy whole. It would also allow us to talk to the customer about cheaper alternatives or possibly not putting the prescription on insurance.
