AN ACT RELATING TO FOOD AND DRUGS -- PRESCRIPTION BENEFIT MANAGER ACCOUNTABILITY ACT

Summary

The bill forces PBMs to approve the exact medication a clinician writes if the doctor submits a notarized letter explaining why that drug is medically necessary and why alternatives won’t work. Any denial must be reviewed by a licensed medical expert, documented, and shared with the doctor and patient. It aims to reduce drug switches, step‑therapy, and opaque denials that can harm patients.
