  • The FTC is preparing a lawsuit against the three largest PBMs—OptumRx, Express Scripts, and CVS Caremark—over allegations that they steered patients to more expensive drugs in exchange for manufacturer rebates.

    • The news follows the release of an interim report by the agency criticizing business practices, consolidation, and vertical integration by PBMs.
