In an environment of inflated list prices for prescription drugs, in the United States, payers and patients rely upon significant negotiated discounts in order to afford and access medicines. These discounts are primarily achieved through the work of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). This report exa

Turns out, we actually know how to do our jobs. Shocking.

Remember that lovely little PBM audit I told y'all about a few weeks ago? The one with 40 prescriptions, 182 fills, 250 pages of documentation, and $61,805.87 in potential clawbacks?

Well, I got my results back last week.

ZERO discrepancies.
ZERO dollars recouped.

Am I surprised? No. Because I know that my team and I do our jobs the right way.

But am I still frustrated? Yes.

Because after spending hours upon hours gathering documentation, scheduling additional staff, printing 250 pages, and stressing over the possibility of losing more than $61,000, I had the privilege to prove something I already knew.

We did our jobs correctly.

Every prescription was filled for the right patient. The right medication. The right strength. The right directions. The right quantity. And every prescription was BILLED to the PBM correctly, too.

Imagine that. A pharmacy doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Groundbreaking stuff. 🙃

And while I'm incredibly relieved that we aren't losing a dime, I can't help but think about what this audit DID cost us.

Time. Resources. Energy. Money spent defending work that was done correctly in the first place.

And not one penny of THAT gets reimbursed.

That's time I could have spent taking care of patients, running my business, or being home with my family.

Independent pharmacists aren't fighting for special treatment. We're fighting for the ability to keep doing the jobs we love without constantly having to defend our right to exist. We just want to take care of our patients. And go to sleep at night without worrying that the next day is going to be the one that does us in for good.

I'm so proud of my pharmacy. I'm proud of the work we do every single day. And I'm proud that when someone came looking for mistakes, they didn't find any.

Behind every one of those 182 prescription fills was a REAL patient with a REAL story who trusted us to take care of them. And we did. Just like we always do. ❤️

Your pharmacy. Your choice. 💊

H.R. 6610, the Pharmacists Fight Back Act, would help protect patients, lower prescription costs, and strengthen the community pharmacies they rely on.

Here’s why it matters:
✅ Protect your right to choose your pharmacy
✅ Stop PBMs from overpaying themselves with your tax dollars
✅ Lower drug costs and monthly premiums
✅ Help local pharmacies stay open and serving their communities
✅ Protect patients and pharmacies through civil penalty enforcement

I mailed off my PBM audit last week.

40 prescriptions.
182 total fills.
250 pages of documentation.

$61,805.87 in potential claw backs.

Every one of these prescriptions was filled for the correct patient, correct medication, correct strength, correct directions, and correct quantity.

Many of the prescriptions the PBM selected were medications that had recently gone generic—but at the time they were filled, the insurance company was still requiring us to dispense the brand name version.

For perspective, on two of these medications, we’re talking about roughly $500 for the brand version versus $10 for the generic.

Now that the plans have switched to covering the generic, I get to dig back through months of prescriptions and documentation to prove that when we dispensed the expensive brand, we did it because that was what the insurance required at the time.

I had to hire my relief pharmacist to work in my place for an entire day so I could gather the documentation and make sure I included everything that was required.

Then I printed the 250 pages of proof and mailed it all off.

And now we wait to find out whether they find a “discrepancy” that allows them to take money back.

This is part of what independent pharmacies are up against that most patients never see.

It’s not just reimbursement.

It’s the time. The paperwork. The payroll. The administrative burden. And the constant possibility that money we were paid months ago could be taken back.

$61,805.87 potentially on the line for prescriptions that were filled correctly.

This is why PBM reform matters.

Because pharmacists should be spending their time taking care of patients—not producing 250 pages of paperwork to prove they did their jobs correctly.
