Tricare pharmacy benefits are a mess starting October 24, 2022.

Hey @FTC Check in to CVS Recredentialing tactics.
Date letter 6/30.Post mark 7/11. Deadline 7/22 Pharmacy receives 7/19.
“CVS reserves the right to charge addition $0.99 per claim until credentialing complete”.

If it were uncovered that Visa had been taking $22 per transaction by inflating final settlement cost AND that they took 40% of the item purchased from the manufacturer AND that they took the customer data at any store and steered them to “Visa Store”…#PBM explained. @FTC
Baby formula crisis? Why? Consolidation. Few manufacturers control the market. RX drug costs fueled. Why? Consolidation. Few #PBMs control the market. + consolidation of hospitals allowing HUGE mark-ups on RX drugs. Pharma sets the prices (too high) but PBMs & hospitals fuel.
Sure seems like this would easily justify a study. @FTCPhillips @CSWilsonFTC @FTC @linakhanFTC this is worth the read to help you understand your mission next time. #pbmreform#fixrx

This failure for theFTC to move ahead with a 6(b) study is getting a lot of attention as it should. I hope this is just a delay because it’s been almost 20 years since the FTC has looked at the PBM market. 3 entities controlling 80% of lives good for patients? I think not.

If @FTC Commissioners @FTCPhillips & @CSWilsonFTC, who voted "no" yesterday, really (really) want a comprehensive study on #PBM tactics they should be working today to get one designed ASAP. Actions speak louder than words. Let's see if this is all talk.
When explaining a problem and the first response is….
“How is this legal in the United States!?”
You know something is very wrong.
