Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:35:52 GMT

PACIFIC, Mo. – When we interviewed independent pharmacist Jerry Callahan in 2019, he asked us to hide his identity for fear of retribution. Four years later, Callahan is revealing who he is and what he knows to expose how pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) are harming healthcare.“Desperation. I’ve got pharmacies and not just me, there’s other pharmacies out there,” he said. “They’re going to close. This has got to change.”Callahan owns five independent pharmacies in Missouri, and recently served as president of the Missouri Pharmacy Association.“You’ve got three PBMs that control 75-80% of the market. They’re just doing take-it-or-leave-it contracts and not giving pharmacies a chance to negotiate with them,” Callahan said.Pharmacy benefit managers are hired by insurance companies to manage drug plans. The PBMs negotiate with drug manufacturers and decide the drugs each plan will cover. In turn, the drugmakers give PBMs rebates, which they pass along to insurers, which can lead to lowe...
