Bill overview
This bill, the Neighborhood Options for Patients Buying Medicines Act, aims to increase choices for Medicare beneficiaries when it comes to prescription drugs. It requires Medicare prescription drug plan sponsors and pharmacy benefit managers to allow any pharmacy that meets their contractual requirements to be part of their network. The bill also directs the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to set standards for what constitutes ‘reasonable’ contract terms for pharmacies participating in these networks.
