Should the Arsonist Also Be the Fireman? Current Legal Efforts to Address Pharmacy Benefit Managers’ Control of the US Pharmaceutical Market
The presentation will discuss how Pharmacy Benefit Managers came to have an outsized influence on the pricing of and access to drugs in the US market, the consequences of that development, and the current legal challenges that are underway to address perceived PBM abuses. We will address the statutory and common law theories that have been successfully used in litigation brought against PBMs by public sector litigants and private payers and the specific factors that lawyers should consider in advising their clients who work with PBMs or who are impacted by their conduct in the drug marketplace.
