The Prescription Drug Transparency and Affordability Act increases oversight of pharmacy benefit management services by requiring entities to disclose detailed information about drug costs, rebates, and fees to group health plans. This aims to provide transparency in prescription drug pricing and ensure that health plans have the necessary information to make informed decisions. The bill mandates regular reporting in plain language and machine-readable format, with penalties for non-compliance and protections for confidential information. It also enables participants and beneficiaries to access summary documents and information about drug costs upon request.
