SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (April 13, 2021) — The Illinois Pharmacists Association supports a bipartisan bill introduced in the Illinois Legislature by Senate Assistant Majority Leader David Koehler (D-Peoria). Senate Bill 2008 (SB2008) is designed to help correct the imbalance of pharmacy benefit manager power and incorporates patient access and reimbursement regulations. This bill not only has the full support of the IPhA and the National Community Pharmacists Association, but also several other health care advocacy groups, including the Illinois Council of Health-System Pharmacists and Illinois Association of Long-Term Care Pharmacy Providers.

IPhA Executive Director Garth Reynolds will be testifying in support of SB2008 at a hearing on Wednesday, April 14. NCPA Director of State Government Affairs Matt Magner will also testify at the hearing in support of the legislation. Also speaking are Ben Calcaterra, co-owner of Calcaterra Drug Company, and former pharmacy owner Beaux Cole.
