Employee-Paid

A new, bipartisan House bill might reduce the need for employers to ask the IRS for extensions.

Rep. Buddy Carter listed that as a priority at a briefing on enactment of the new employer PBM transparency mandate.

Directing government support towards care doesn't just lower the overall cost of the subsidies, but it also ensures the help is going to people rather than insurance companies.

Executives said that demand is still strong because overall market capacity has shrunk.

One part requires PBMs to send employer health plans detailed prescription benefits tracking information and for the plan fiduciaries to use the data to keep tabs on the benefits and on PBM compensation.

New court papers released by DOJ may be the tip of the iceberg, lawmakers and advocates say.
