Season 2 PRN 3: The BIGGEST Change in the Last Decade of Pharmacy?? (PMPRB)

The Patented Medicine Prices Review Board is Making Large Changes Come July 1, 2020

Medication backorders, less research, and more may await us in the near future…

As we discussed on the latest PRN episode, the upcoming changes to PMPRB have large repercussions on pharmacists and patients alike. If you want to read the full changes, read the draft guideline here. Forewarning, these draft guidelines are not written in layman-friendly language.

For easier reading, we recommend the following articles. They are both heavily biased but also present the information more clearly than the government website.

• PMPRB changes from the view of a plan sponsor

• PMRPB changes from the view of a pharmaceutical company

Since none of the changes have actually taken place, everything in these articles is speculative. If you want to further discuss the PMPRB changes, don’t hesitate to contact us! We love some friendly, heated discussion about the latest, hottest topics in pharmacy.

Really? The BIGGEST change? Yes! Medication backorders, less research, and more await us in the near future... Don't wait until it's too late, listen to learn more! Intro song written by Shaan Singh.
