Legislative Updates

MT Pharmacy Protection Bill

Hello,
Montana Family Pharmacies is diligently working on a Pharmacy Protection Bill to safeguard independent pharmacies from unfair PBM practices, and we need your support! The proposed bill, sponsored by Representative Marta Bertoglio, is currently in draft form. It will first go before the Business and Labor Committee before moving on to the House. We will keep you updated as the bill progresses through the legislative process.
The political climate is favorable nationwide for changing unfair PBM practices, but we need to get involved!
What can you do?

1. Reach out to your local state representative and ask them to support this bill.
2. Share the bill summary and provide details or answer questions.
3. Invite your local state representative to visit your pharmacy:
     o Show them examples of negative reimbursement claims.
     o Have them witness the vital care you provide for your patients.
4. Spread the word about this bill to other pharmacy colleagues and encourage them to get involved.

Click here to find a summary and explanation of the proposed bill that can be shared.  
Please get involved now and help make this change happen!
