This is painful: 3Telemedicine out, PBM legislation out, physician pay cut back it and more!
Reprehensible that our Congress won’t legislate and were bamboozled by Elon 3Musk. We have been doing CR’s and have not had any real appropriation bills since the GOP took over the house 2 years ago.
"Before it was scrapped, the deal included a number of healthcare provisions, like historic reforms to #PharmacyBenefitManagers, a bump to physician pay and a long-awaited extension to the #Medicare telehealth flexibilities”
It also allowed first-dollar coverage of #Telehealth for high deductible health plans

GoodRx and #PharmacyBenefitManagers (#PBM’s) Being Sued in Class Action case for price-fixing 😬
I’ve been shifting a lot of my inquiries on medication pricing to #MarkCuban's #CostPlusDrugs online pharmacy. In many cases, their prices are lower or similar to patient's co-pay and typically much less than the prices listed in #GoodRx.
My patients are usually flabbergasted when they see these Cuban's prices. I tell them it always pays to shop around!
PS: This also goes for diagnostic studies (#hospitals usually charge 3-6 times more than most outpatient facilities.)

“The small-town drugstore closed for the last time on a clear and chilly afternoon in February. Jon Jacobs, who owned Yough Valley Pharmacy, hugged his employees goodbye.
Mr. Jacobs, a 70-year-old pharmacist, had spent more than half his life building his drugstore into a bedrock of Confluence, Pa., a rural community of roughly 1,000 people. Now the town was losing its only health care provider.
Obscure but powerful health care middlemen — companies known as #PharmacyBenefitManagers, or P.B.M.s — had destroyed his business.”

#Drug middlemen inflate US prices, squeeze out competition, FTC says
#PharmacyBenefitManagers (PBMs) were initially hired by various payors—employers, #healthinsurance companies, government health plans, and others—to manage prescription drug benefits through various plans. But PBMs have evolved over the years to also negotiate rebates from drugmakers, set reimbursements for dispensing pharmacies, and develop drug formularies (the list of drugs that a health plan covers.
