Three bills currently pending in the Michigan state legislature would effectively outlaw companies in the state from using Canadian mail order pharmacies and would raise prices of prescription drugs by at least 10%, according to The Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA), an organization representing pharmacy benefit managers.
A poll taken by this group earlier in March showed that the state’s corporate benefit managers think mail order pharmacies are a good idea. By a margin of 85% to 11%, corporate benefit managers think mail order pharmacies are a good idea because “they allow employees to get drugs conveniently in larger quantities and at a lower cost than at a retail store.”
The survey polled 300 corporate benefit managers throughout Michigan in early March.
