This lack of transparency in patients’ drug coverage can interfere with sound medical practice and may lead to delays in and other disruption to necessary medical treatment, thus, the ability of patients and their physicians to have the information and even the latitude they need to make key decisions regarding medication has been hampered by the sort of practices that state legislation of PBMs can properly address.
