Morning Consult recently published an op-ed by Rich Tremonte, President - Community & Specialty Pharmacy at AmerisourceBergen, entitled: “Now Is the Time to Grant Pharmacists Full Vaccination Authority In All 50 States & Permanently Recognize Pharmacists as Providers In Medicare.”

Good Neighbor Pharmacy and Elevate Provider Network joined our independent community pharmacy customers in support of Tennessee House Bill 1398.

Good Neighbor Pharmacy and Elevate Provider Network are in full support of HB 1919— Texas legislation to regulate PBMs and protect independent community pharmacists and their patients. We are asking independent pharmacists to contact their Texas state senator and urge them to vote YES on HB 1919.

Please call your Texas State Senator by 9:00am Wednesday, May 19th, and urge their support for three bills - TX HB 1919, TX HB 2787, and TX HB 678. These critical bills will help to regulate Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) to protect independent community pharmacists, and Texas patients, as well as increase access to lifesaving vaccines.

In late April, Congressmen Butterfield (D-NC) and McKinley (R-WV), along with 21 original & bipartisan cosponsors, reintroduced H.R. 2759, the Pharmacy and Medically Underserved Areas Enhancement Act. Senators Grassley (R-IA) and Casey (D-PA) also introduced S. 1362, the Senate companion bill in April. H.R. 2759/S. 1362 would allow Medicare to reimburse pharmacists who provide care to Medicare patients in underserved communities.
