Registration and housing for NCPA’s 2024 Congressional Pharmacy Fly-In will opened on Jan. 18, so if you want to join pharmacy owner peers for meetings with lawmakers and their staff to effect change in community pharmacy legislation, this is your chance. It’s also a chance to be in-the-know on impending actions. Last year, in his remarks to fly-in attendees, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) teased his plans to hold a hearing on PBMs as part of his committee’s investigation into their business practices. A month later? His committee held its first hearing, which included testimony from NCPA member Kevin Duane, the owner of Panama Pharmacy in Jacksonville, Fla. That’s the kind of event this is—timely and angled toward forward progress on the issues that matter most. Be part of the action and fly in this year to make sure your voice is heard.
