House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is set to speak at an event hosted by The Hill on Wednesday, March 6, focusing on bipartisan efforts to reform Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs).

Both Republicans and Democrats highlighted the necessity of increased transparency in the PBM industry and the urgency for Congress to tackle the detrimental pricing strategies employed by PBMs.
The event, titled “Prescribing PBM Reform,” will feature Chairman Comer's address, followed by a panel discussion involving leaders from various sectors including healthcare, business, pharmacy, and consumer patient advocacy.
In anticipation of the event, Chairman Comer emphasized the importance of the topic, stating, "It is crucial that we take bipartisan action to address the issues surrounding PBM accountability."
