Important Statement from RADM Kelly Batisse: Addressing Misinformation on Pharmacist Training and Scope

Rear Admiral (RADM) Kelly Batisse, chief pharmacist of the U.S. Public Health Service, has released a statement in response to the American Medical Association's (AMA) false claims regarding pharmacist training and scope of practice. RADM Batisse highlights the critical role pharmacists play in patient care and clarifies the extensive education and training that supports pharmacists in delivering safe and effective care across the healthcare system.  Understanding these discussions is crucial, especially as they relate to addressing health disparities and ensuring equitable access to care for patients across the country.

PBM Reform Update

NHPA was represented on a joint letter to the House Oversight and Accountability Committee ahead of their July 23, 2024 PBM hearing with the big three pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”). The pharmacy associations thanked committee leaders for their commitment to examining the PBMs’ impact on prescription drug costs and the pharmacy business model. The associations also strongly urged Congress to pass PBM reform legislation. A recording of the hearing is available online.
