“This bill will ensure patients have access to local pharmacies while also seeing the enhanced cost savings that pharmacy benefit managers provide. The Oklahoma Pharmacy Association and the pharmacy benefit managers that came to the negotiating table should be commended for working together to develop this compromise language.
