AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Budget and Management to use a reverse auction process to select a pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) or other entity to administer the State Rx Program. It also requires the Department to procure a technology platform and associated services to evaluate PBM qualifications, automate prescription drug claims adjudication, and collect data on pharmacy reimbursement. The bill allows other state-funded, self-funded, and public employee health plans to participate in the reverse auction process individually or as a joint purchasing group. It also allows the Department to perform annual market checks on PBM services to ensure continuing competitiveness of prescription drug pricing.
