The absolute scandal no one is talking about is how state Medicaid programs are doing this - adjusting benefit design and PDLs to extract (read extort) supplemental rebates at the cost of clinically appropriate care by way of admin barriers. ->

@HouseCommerce @RepBuddyCarter @RepBarragan @RepKatCammack @RepHouchin @RepLangworthy @PBGHealth @RepJames Chair @RepMGriffith adjourns the meeting, thanking members and witnesses.

"When prices are hidden, patients lose power." If you're charging patients, be transparent with patients. Accessible, accurate, enforceable. It's not a partisan issue, it's an issue of accountability and transparency. Thank you @RepJames for standing up for patients instead of large entities.

THREAD 🧵: The @HouseCommerce Health Subcommittee just kicked off its third meeting on health care affordability, this time focusing on hospitals and large health care systems. Follow along with us as we provide real-time analysis and commentary.

Independent practices are closing and consolidating because of misaligned reimbursement and physician FFS practices. Rep. Bilirakis asks Dr. DiGiorgio about the loss of independent practices, who says that #340B program abuse is among the top two reasons this is happening. Witness R. Shawn Martin speaks on behalf of community health centers, which are also impacted by the unpredictable nature of reimbursements. Physicians tend to leave rural communities and seek opportunities elsewhere because of consolidation.
