The REAL reason is that the BOTTLENECK is with US (the Physicians) due to regulatory requirements from CMSGov and #FERPA we must 1st SHARE our data before they can verify it. This is why we are giving every physician a wallet with *pre-verified* credentialing data so it is

Go, Representative Lisa McClain! 🔥🔥🔥 McClain to the 3 big #PBM: "You want ZERO transparency, and I can see why. American people are hurting and you don't have any data?" "When can I expect the data, not the pitchbook?"

Re the Oversight committee #PBM hearing. This tweet and all of the ones below it serve as my recap of a very exciting hearing. Takeways: TRUST is so important in health care... the 3 big PBM testifying under oath, IMO, have proven themselves untrustworthy again and again.

Pa has a new #PBM law It's sloppy to change any bill at last minute. These changes favor PBM, erode transparency and allow young children to get injections of medications in pharmacies. Needed changes for indie pharmacies remained. More here in my latest piece:

This is huge. I love when the market responds, pre-empting legislation. While there is still plenty of room for process improvements, this is a great first step. Large payers recognizing physicians who consistently follow guidelines will greatly improve frustration with
