In an effort to reduce medication costs, states are taking aim at companies that manage prescription coverage for health insurers. These companies, known as pharmacy benefit managers, play a significant role in overseeing prescription coverage. Details about this development are available from news sources, including a report from Topeka, Kansas.

It is known that some pharmacy benefit managers also own pharmacies, which may be a factor in the states' efforts to lower drug prices. Further information about the states' initiatives and the role of pharmacy benefit managers can be found through news outlets, including KXAN.
