EPIC PharmPAC provides legislative representation for members and helps to elect representatives who support access to quality health care and plan to enact pro-pharmacy laws.
2023 Legislative Priorities
In 2023, EPIC PharmPAC is focused on 3 important issues:
- Medicaid Managed Care Reform
- Provider Status & Payment for Services
- PBM Reform/Enforcement of Existing State PBM Regulations
2022 Legislative Wins
- Florida HB 357 permits a pharmacy to appeal the findings of a pharmacy audit and creates penalties for PBMs that fail to register with the state.
- Kentucky HB 1 requires the state to issue reports on PBM performance in the Medicaid managed care program.
- West Virginia HB 4112 prohibits a PBM from steering patients to a particular pharmacy and prohibits PBMs from creating arbitrary definitions of “specialty drug.”

What Our Members Are Saying
EPIC Rx is a trusted ally in third-party reimbursements. Ultimately, EPIC Rx allows me to have more time to help my patients and other aspects of my business.
Chris' Pharmacy, Columbus, MS
If your New York pharmacy is not an EPIC Rx member, you are probably missing out on tens of thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Parkway Drugs, Utica, NY
Condo Pharmacy would be out of business if we had not made the switch to EPIC Rx from our previous PSAO.
Condo Pharmacy, Plattsburgh, NY
EPIC Rx helps our business in so many different ways: claims, adjudication, buying. Anybody who thinks they can do that as one store is fooling themselves.
Mechanicsville Drug Store, Mechanicsville, VA
EPIC Rx has made reimbursements more transparent for me. They’ve helped me understand the logic behind the PBMs and how to manage the reimbursements effectively.
