WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO.com) — Senator John Thune is looking out for senior Citizens, and he showed it in Congress.
This past week Thune introduced the Strengthening Pharmacy Access for Seniors Act, bipartisan legislation that would increase transparency measures on pharmacy benefit managers and provide seniors with additional options to fill their prescriptions.
The bill would specifically require Pharmacy benefits managers to reveal the criteria used to classify drugs that are dispensed by certain pharmacies and prevent them from steering patients to certain pharmacies that limit patients’ options.
