H.R. 971, The Community Pharmacy Fairness Act of 2007 (2 comments ↓)
H.R. 971 would ensure and foster continued patient safety and quality of care by making the antitrust laws apply to negotiations between groups of independent pharmacies and health plans and health insurance issuers (including health plans under parts C and D of the Medicare Program) in the same manner as such laws apply to protected activities under the National Labor Relations Act.

This bill is an important first step in allowing independent pharmacies the ability to negotiate fair and reasonable reimbursement rate and timely payments with dictatorial PBM's

Passage of this bill will go a long way in leveling the playing field against chains and pbms for independent pharmacy. We've been waiting a long time.
