lawmakers urge investigation into pharmacy benefit managers role in opioid crisis
A bipartisan group of lawmakers has urged the DOJ to investigate pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) for their potential role in the opioid crisis, citing evidence of collusion with Purdue Pharma to promote OxyContin in exchange for substantial rebates.
