HHS Issues RFI on PBM Compensation and Data Collection; Comments Due July 20

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a request for information (RFI) to gather technical input on the services and business practices of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and their affiliates to inform implementation of recent legislation. It specifically focuses on gathering information to inform two specific legislative requirements that are effective beginning calendar year 2028: restrictions on the remuneration that PBMs and their affiliates may receive for services in connection with the utilization of covered Part D drugs; and data reporting requirements.

Input is requested on the definitions of pharmacy benefit manager, affiliate, bona fide service fee, the determination of fair market value for PBM services, and current pharmacy payment arrangements.

Comments are due July 20, 2026.
