A new White Paper from the Community Oncology Alliance (COA) looks at recent moves by Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) to increase corporate profits by declaring all physician dispensing to be out-of-network. Prepared for COA by attorneys at the law firm, Frier Levitt, LLC, the White Paper “Pharmacy Benefit Managers’ Attack on Physician Dispensing and Impact on Patient Care”, examines recent PBM actions, notably CVS Caremark’s announced intent to restrict patient access to physician dispensing, effective January 1, 2017.
