Pine Hill Pharmacy

Thank you Assemblyman Will Barclay (left), John Lemondes For Assembly (center), NYS Senator Rachel May (right) for getting our "PAPA" bill over the finish line Friday! It was a bit of a roller coaster and came down a little too close to the wire but also with the help of the Pharmacists Society of the State of New York - PSSNY we got it done.

While there is still more work to do, this bill will help stabilize reimbursement to all pharmacies in NY. Pharmacies have to make the choice whether or not to fill far too many prescriptions at a loss than they should. As a result there have been a significant number of unnecessary store closures due to the actions of PBMs. These 3 legislators are on the side of their constituents in maintaining access to local close to home healthcare services their pharmacies provide.

We still need Kathy Hochul to sign the bill but this was a major hurdle in the process that has us breathing a little easier now.

A decent analogy but many of those businesses have already been run out of business through other shadow entities forcing prices to a level not sustainable which is and will continue to occur in pharmacy unless there is an "intervention" of some sort that prevents these practices to happen.

We need your help! Please take a minute to go to the link below to send a message to your state representatives to help our pharmacy. Enough pharmacies have already cut services or closed due to poor reimbursement from PBMs. These bills could help ensure that you can continue to use the pharmacy of your choice. Thank you!

To unite and empower the profession of pharmacy through advocacy, education, networking, and interprofessional collaboration.

We attended a rally today in Albany with pharmacists from all over NY. We spoke to our local representatives regarding legislation to help save our pharmacies from the unfortunate fate of the nearly 1000 pharmacies in NYS that have closed in just the last few years! Thank you John Lemondes For Assembly for meeting with us today. We hope Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay and NYS Senator Rachel May will also support our legislation as you have.

Pharmacies will continue to close leaving communities without a vital piece of their healthcare support if action isn’t taken quickly and PBMs aren’t forced to reimburse pharmacies fairly.

Please share and voice your support for our legislation that will keep pharmacy sustainable in your community.

Let's say you have a plan that says you should have a 20% copay. If you were charged $25.15 for a prescription that costs $35.41 would you be upset? Sadly, this is what is happening to our patients with a common local plan on a regular basis.
