Pharmaceutical Care Management Association

This report, commissioned by the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association, describes the effect that selected legal or regulatory interventions could have on the economics of mail-service pharmacy, and provides estimates of the impact of these interventions on pharmacy costs for consumers and payers. These interventions include: Any willing pharmacy laws which mandate the inclusion of pharmacies from a plan's network as long as the pharmacy is willing to meet the standard network terms, conditions and pricing Uniform cost sharing requirements whereby consumers' out-of-pocket expenditures are required to be the same regardless of whether a prescription is filled at a mail or retail pharmacy Required 90-day prescriptions at retail laws mandating that plans cover 90-day prescriptions at retail pharmacies
