This legislation ensures that copay assistance counts toward cost-sharing obligations, preventing patients from facing insurmountable financial barriers to their medications.
While we share your commitment to addressing the high cost of prescription drugs, we strongly oppose HB 1236, legislation that would explicitly authorize the use of copay maximizer programs in Louisiana’s health insurance market.
We are writing to submit a formal complaint regarding plans offered on the West Virginia Marketplace by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield West Virginia.

We strongly support the Department of Labor’s proposed rule to increase transparency in pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) compensation and financial arrangements. Greater transparency is essential to improving accountability across the prescription drug supply chain and ensuring that plan fiduciaries have the information necessary to assess the reasonableness of PBM contracts and practices. We urge the Department to finalize and implement this rule without delay, with the recommendations outlined in this letter.
