What is a PBM?• Hired by health plans to manage prescription drug
benefit programs and provide other services pursuant to negotiated contract.
• Act as intermediaries between health plans, manufacturers, and pharmacies.
• Develop formularies and determine patient access to drug therapies.

What is Their Role?• Initial purpose 1960s-1970s: purely administrative. • As drug costs continued to rise, PBMs offered services
that promised health plans less expensive drug programs and lower costs.
• Now handle everything from negotiating price concessions with manufacturers to creating pharmacy networks to determining which drugs are covered by which plans.

PBM Realities• But we know that costs are skyrocketing, patients are paying
more at the pharmacy counter, and access is more restricted.• Use position to negotiate contracts with manufacturers/health
plans/pharmacies that maximize profits at expense of physicians and patients.
• Sources of PBM Revenue/Profit:▫ Spread Pricing▫ Manufacturer Rebates▫ Mail-Order Pharmacies▫ Administrative and Service Fees

Spread Pricing• Spread Pricing: Difference between what PBM charges a
health plan for a certain drug and what it reimburses a pharmacy for dispensing it.
• Pharmacies typically have no idea what health plans are paying for a drug and health plans don't know how much pharmacies are reimbursed for dispensing it.

The Rebate System• Rebate: A retroactive discount paid in a lump sum by a
manufacturer to a PBM in exchange for preferred placement on the PBM’s formulary. ▫ Rebate amount is negotiated percentage off list price (WAC).▫ Manufacturer promises to pay to PBM a percentage rebate (of drug
list price) for every prescription of their drug that is filled.
• Motivates PBMs to base drug utilization on rebates (aka profits) rather than patient care or reducing drug costs. ▫ Efficacy, safety, and patient cost not as important as rebate amount.

Consequences of The Rebate System• Rebate system gives PBMs strong financial incentives when
designing/managing formularies. ▫ Has profound effect on patient access to affordable treatment.
• Leads to practices like step therapy, prior authorization, non-medical switching, etc. ▫ Step Therapy: Must step through most profitable medications first.▫ Non-Medical Switching: Contract could change from year to year;
forces stable patients to change medications because PBM obtained more profitable contract with different manufacturer.

Consequences of The Rebate System• Negatively influences list prices.▫ Higher the list price, higher the rebate – which increases chances of
getting onto PBM formulary.▫ Becomes market influence that manufacturers must take into
account when setting list price (WAC). • Patient cost-sharing obligations are based off list price, not
rebated (net) price, which forces patients to pay inflated out-of-pocket amount. ▫ Patients with coinsurance/deductibles are forced to pay particularly
unfair amount for their prescriptions.

The Rebate Argument• PBMs cite ability to negotiate rebates as cost-reducing mechanism
for health plans and patients.• BUT more rebates are being paid now more than ever and drug
costs continue to rise. ▫ Price protection/rebate percentage and price escalation fees actually
make more money for the PBM if the list price goes up.▫ Premiums are rising faster than ever ; coinsurance/deductibles are
higher as well.• Rebates are not always passed back to health plans, even though
many plan-PBM contracts contain rebate terms.▫ Question is why?

• PBM only contractually obligated to pass on “rebate” as specifically defined in health plan contract.
• Health plans do not know amount of rebates PBMs actually collect from manufacturers.▫ PBMs exploit this non-transparency to “reclassify” rebates in
manufacturer contract as "fees,“ payment for services, etc.▫ Designating portion of rebate as “fee” etc. allows PBM to keep a
large part of rebate as profit.

The Transparency Problem• Lack of Transparency = Unfair pricing practices by PBMs
designed to increase profits.
• Without transparency, extremely difficult to determine PBM revenue sources and amounts. ▫ PBMs do not disclose pharmacy and manufacturer contract terms
to health plans, making it much harder for health plans to monitor and address drug pricing and costs.

PBM Position on Transparency"We love transparency for our patients. Our patients
should know exactly what they're going to pay when they go to the pharmacy counter. We love transparency for
our clients—they can come in. They can audit their contracts. They know exactly what they're going to be
required to pay. What we don't want is transparency for our competitors.“ – Steve Miller, Chief Medical Officer,

ATAP Policy RecommendationsIncreased transparency and appropriate oversight in how manufacturers, PBMs, and insurers determine the price and cost of drugs.
• Mandated disclosure of price concession.• Uniform definition of “rebate”, “fee”, other relevant terms.
Reduced costs to patients.• Calculate patient cost-sharing using net price, not list price.• Prohibit clawbacks and pharmacy “gag clauses.”
Improved patient access to treatment.• Formularies based on effectiveness, safety, and ease of administration, NOT rebates.• Formulary transparency.• Non-medical switching restrictions, step therapy regulation, physician overrides.
Regulation and restriction of unfair and deceptive PBM practices. • State licensure/registration, fiduciary duty requirement. • Regulation and transparency standards for PBM payment methodologies.• Addressing development and implementation of accumulator adjustment programs.

• Work with Congress and the Department of Health and Human Services to establish, with stakeholder input and subject to public comment, agreed upon definitions to bring clarity and transparency to what constitutes a "rebate" versus a "fee" versus any other of the classifications that a PBM may have for money flowing to and from it. Once definitional clarity exists, disclosure will be meaningful.
• Work with Congress and CMS to implement mandatory pass-through policies that would require PBMs to pass back a specified amount of rebates to the health plans to be applied at the point of sale to reduce patients’ out-of-pocket expenses.
• Maintain access to Part B drugs by monitoring and appropriately addressing proposed changes to the current structure to ensure only changes that maximize benefits to patients are enacted.
• Monitor and address vertical consolidation within the prescription drug market, particularly with respect to mergers between PBMs and insurance companies.

• ATAP’s strategy at the state level is two-fold:▫ Identify states that may be interested in ATAP PBM transparency state model bill
and actively work with lawmakers and other stakeholders in those states to implement it.
▫ Track and support PBM-related state bills introduced this session.▫ Work at a state level to educate lawmakers and employers about the prescription
drug market and its impact on drug costs.• Our state policy team has developed a state model bill that focuses on
mandated disclosures and increased state regulation of PBMs.▫ Working in multiple states to get a version of the model introduced.▫ Investigatory: aimed at gaining meaningful information about interworking of
rebate system and PBM contracts.
