Urges Congress to Pass the Bill Without Delay Protecting Specialty Pharmacies and Patient Pharmacy Choice
December 5, 2025 - 21:04
Washington, DC, Dec. 05, 2025 – The National Association of Specialty Pharmacy (NASP) has expressed strong support for the recent introduction of bipartisan legislation by the Senate Finance Committee aimed at curbing anticompetitive practices in the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) sector. This legislation is designed to enhance beneficiary access to specialty pharmacies, ensuring that patients can choose the pharmacy that best meets their healthcare needs.
The proposed measures seek to strengthen and enforce existing federal regulations, particularly the Any Willing Provider provision, which mandates that insurance plans allow any qualified pharmacy to participate in their networks. NASP emphasizes that these reforms are crucial for maintaining patient choice and safeguarding the integrity of specialty pharmacies, which play a vital role in managing complex health conditions.
The association urges Congress to act swiftly in passing this legislation, highlighting the importance of protecting both pharmacies and patients from practices that undermine competition and access to essential medications. The timely advancement of this bill is seen as a significant step toward ensuring equitable healthcare for all.
