Let's talk about the real cause of high drug costs. The president’s most-favored-nation pricing model ignores the unchecked power of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). It's time to hold them accountable. dcjournal.com/dont-let-mid... #NICA #InfusionCenters

What do patients really think about drug costs? New survey from @eachpic finds affordability is often about access and insurance policies Learn more: eachpic.org/each-pic-rel... #DrugAffordability #PatientsFirst

New from the EACH/PIC Coalition: Initial findings from the Patient Experience Survey reveal that “unaffordability” is about more than cost. Patients face complex barriers tied to coverage, access, and system design. Read the full report eachpic.org/each-pic-rel...

Thank you @RepGregMurphy, @RepAdamGrayCA, and @DrNealDunnFL2 for reintroducing the Protecting Patient Access to Cancer and Complex Therapies Act! Ensuring fair reimbursement for infusion providers is essential to safeguarding patient access to life-saving, provider-administered treatments.

UPDATE: President Trump signs One Big Beautiful Bill Act on July 4th • One-year 2.5% Medicare physician payment increase (2026) • Medicaid work reqs + 3.5% cap on provider taxes in expansion states (CBO: 11.8M more uninsured by 2034) • An expansion to the orphan drug exemption under the MDPNP

Thank you, Gov. Kelly Ayotte, for protecting access to life-saving care by repealing policies that would have imposed harmful reimbursement cuts for NH infusion providers. Your leadership ensures patients with chronic, rare conditions can keep receiving the timely, high-quality treatment they need.

Great news for Nevada infusion providers: Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo vetoed AB 259, which would’ve tied provider reimbursement to Medicare drug pricing. Thanks to the Governor for protecting provider sustainability & patient access. #InfusionCare #HealthcareVictory #Nevada

Thank you, @GovMurphy, for signing A1825 into law! A1825 helps patients get needed medications faster by allowing common-sense exceptions to step therapy (“fail-first”) protocols imposed by insurers. It puts decisions back where they belong, with patients and doctors. A Big win for New Jersey!

Vermont Infusion Patients, All Copays Count bill S 30 is up for consideration by the VT Senate Finance Committee TOMORROW! Help us show support by sending a letter to urge them to pass the bill. Date: THUR, FEB 6 Time: 1:00 PM ET Take action here: infusionaccessfoundation.quorum.us/campaign/109...

#MFN pricing for #Medicaid harms patients & vulnerable populations. @WhiteHouse must not include this policy in Reconciliation. Learn why #PBMs and some hospitals don't necessarily want to change the status quo when it comes to the #340B hospital markup program. #340Breform bit.ly/3ZgcmZc

This week, NICA engaged with state legislators in Springfield, IL to share our perspective on the proposed upper payment limits (UPLs). We emphasized the importance of maintaining the viability of community infusion centers to ensure Illinois patients can continue to access critical therapies

NICA AdCom member Dan McCarty warns that millions of Americans could lose access to life-saving infusion treatments by 2028. Read more here: bit.ly/3GJhnTT. #HealthcareAdvocacy #PatientAccess #InfusionDeliveryChannel #InfusionProvider #FutureOfHealthcare #InfusionCenter

The NICA Advocacy Team wrapped up a fantastic Provider Advocacy Workshop in Tampa, Florida! So grateful to all the providers who came out and shared their expertise and dedication. It was a truly valuable experience. #ProviderAdvocacy #Healthcare #Tampa #Community

California patients, especially those in rural areas, continue to struggle to access healthcare. The #340B program should be helping patients but does nothing to ensure that medication savings reach those in need. Legislators should vote NO on #AB1460.

This week, the Infusion Access Foundation and @infusioncenter.bsky.social boards met to discuss goals and priorities for 2025. Looking ahead, our focus remains clear: ensuring patients receive the treatments they need, when and where they need them, without unnecessary barriers. #InfusionCare

1. Congress released a short-term funding bill that includes significant reforms for pharmacy benefit managers. The bill bans spread pricing in Medicaid, requires PBMs to pass through 100% of rebates to health plans, & mandates detailed reporting on prescription drug spending.
