The Oregon Legislature passed HB 4149 to address some of these issues this year.

There will be a work group to delve into other issues such as spread pricing possibly leading to further bills.

Can you explain what that is?

Thanks for addressing such a complicated area. Love the “greed” photo intro.

Hi Christa. Thanks for your insight into Oregon. Spread pricing is a practice where a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) reimburses a pharmacy for a prescription and then charges an insurer or employer more for the same prescription. The difference between the two is kept as profit, or "spread".
