RE: Corroborating your contention that the PBM industry ranks as one of the largest corporate scams of all time:
Dew,
I am currently dealing with one of these companys now, regarding this very issue. I was asked to review the offer to the sponsor for bypassing the generic for 6 months. The PBM would not disclose how much they were getting from Pfizer and was going to pull their 5 digit rebate to the sponsor. Needless to say, the sponsor elected to take the rebate without the full disclosure requested.
On a side note. It is interesting that many of these close pharmacy/PBM ties have been broken since I last checked in.
