AS THE COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS HAS EMERGED AS THE FASTEST-GROWING COMPONENT OF OVERALL HEALTH COSTS, REDUCTION OF PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS HAS BECOME A PRIORITY AAHCA CONCERN. AAHCA-ORGANIZED ADVOCACY CAMPAIGNS HAVE RESULTED IN ENACTMENT OF AMERICA'S AGENDA-DESIGNED STRATEGIES TO REDUCE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS AND CAPTURE SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS FOR PATIENTS, TAXPAYERS, STATE GOVERNMENT, AND PUBLIC EMPLOYEES IN SEVERAL STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. EACH OF OUR AAHCA STATE CAMPAIGNS HAS BUILT ON THE SUCCESS OF OUR POLICY INITIATIVE IN NEW JERSEY, WHERE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AMERICA'S AGENDA-DESIGNED PUBLIC POLICY STRATEGY FOR CREATING A DYNAMICALLY COMPETITIVE MARKETPLACE FOR PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGERS CAPTURED $2.52 BILLION IN PRESCRIPTION DRUG SAVINGS OVER 5 YEARS FOR STATE TAXPAYERS AND THE NEW JERSEY STATE EMPLOYEES HEALTH PLAN. AAHCA'S FEDERAL MEDICARE REFORM ADVOCACY INITIATIVE AIMS TO ELIMINATE PERVERSE PRESCRIPTION BENEFIT MANAGER (PBM) INCENTIVES TO PROVIDE MEDICARE PARTICIPANTS HIGHER, RATHER THAN LOWER, PRICED DRUGS AND PREVENT PBM CONFLICTS OF INTEREST THAT DRIVE COSTS HIGHER FOR AMERICA'S SENIORS.THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES HIGHLIGHT ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF AAHCA ADVOCACY OVER THE COURSE OF 2023: -IN COLORADO, FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS OF OUR ADVOCACY COALITION IN WINNING ENACTMENT OF COLORADO'S COMPETITIVE PHARMACY BENEFITS MANAGER MARKETPLACE ACT, AAHCA MAINTAINED MOMENTUM OF A COALITION OF LABOR UNIONS, PATIENT ADVOCATES, COMPETITIVE MARKET ADVOCATES, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT THE NEW PBM MARKET REFORM STATUTE, DESPITE ENTRENCHED OPPOSITION TO IT. DURING 2023, AAHCA PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING TO MAKE STATE EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVES EFFECTIVE IN THEIR NEW ROLE AS PARTNERS WITH THE STATE IN COLORADO IN IMPLEMENTING THE PBM REVERSE AUCTION MANDATED BY THE NEW STATE LAW. PROCEDURES FOR CONDUCTING THE PBM REVERSE AUCTION PROCESS WERE ULTIMATELY AGREED UPON. THE REVERSE AUCTION PROCESS WAS COMPLETED AND THE INCUMBENT PBM PRESCRIPTION DRUG PLAN WAS REPLACED BY A HIGHER VALUE (LOWER COST DRUG PLAN) ALTERNATIVE. AS A RESULT, THE STATE OF COLORADO, ITS TAXPAYERS, AND PUBLIC EMPLOYEES ARE PROJECTED TO SAVE $17.5 MILLION IN REDUCED PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS OVER A 5-YEAR PERIOD. -IN IOWA, AAHCA PARTICIPATED ACTIVELY IN ORGANIZING AN IOWA ADVOCACY COALITION TO SUPPORT ENACTMENT DURING 2023 OF A STATE PRESCRIPTION DRUG MARKET REFORM LAW, SF554, THE IOWA COMPETITIVE PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGER MARKETPLAE ACT, MODELED ON AAHCA PRESCRIPTION DRUG MARKET REFORM LEGISLATION ENACTED IN SEVERAL OTHER STATES. IN IOWA, ENACTMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION WAS PROJECTED TO SAVE STATE TAXPAYERS 20% OF PRESCRIPTION DRUG BENEFITS SPENDING FOR STATE EMPLOYEES WITHOUT CUTTING PRESCRIPTION BENEFITS. AAHCA MEDIATED ACCEPTANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO DRAFT LEGISLATION THAT BROADENED SUPPORT SUBSTANTIALLY. THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION HAS BEEN PASSED BY BOTH CHAMBERS OF THE IOWA STATE LEGISLATURE. -FOCUSING ON COST-SAVING CONGRESSIONAL LEGISLATION, AAHCA HAS ACTIVELY ORGANIZED A BROAD COALITION OF ADVOCATES FOR MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG MARKET REFORMS THAT WOULD REDUCE COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS FOR AMERICA'S SENIORS BY PROHIBITING LINKAGE OF PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGER (PBM) INCOME TO THE LIST PRICE OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS PROVIDED THROUGH THE MEDICARE PART D BENEFIT. AAHCA ADVOCACY, WHICH INCLUDED A SUBSTANTIAL EARNED AND PAID MEDIA CAMPAIGN OVER THE COURSE OF 2023, CONTRIBUTED TO UNANIMOUS, BIPARTISAN PASSAGE OF THE MODERNIZING AND ENSURING PBM ACCOUNTABILITY ACT BY THE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE IN NOVEMBER 2023. AAHCA ADVOCACY CONTRIBUTED ALSO TO THE UNANIMOUS, BI-PARTISAN PASSAGE IN DECEMBER 2023 OF THE ALIGNED H.R. 2880, PROTECTING PATIENTS FROM PBM ABUSES ACT IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BY BOTH THE ENERGY AND COMMERCE COMMITTEE AND THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE. 24512688 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 23 22 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X MARK BLUM 2022231585 1025 CONNECTICUT AVENUE NW 907 WASHINGTON DC 20036 DOUGLAS DORITY PRESIDENT/CHAIR 20.00 20.00 X X 179656 0 42954 ERIC DEAN SECRETARY/TREASURER 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER BLASS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CLAYOLA BROWN DIRECTOR 0.02 X 0 0 0 MATT LOEB DIRECTOR 0.02 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH HUNT DIRECTOR 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 MORTON BAHR DIRECTOR 0.02 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH R BOCK DIRECTOR 0.02 X 0 0 0 MARC PERRONE DIRECTOR 0.02 X 0 0 0 BERNARD TYSON DIRECTOR 1.90 X 0 0 0 CLARK MARCUS DIRECTOR 0.19 X 0 0 0 SCOTT A LAGANGA DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 EDWARD M SMITH DIRECTOR 0.02 X 0 0 0 JANIS DI MONACO DIRECTOR 0.77 X 0 0 0 JAMES P HOFFA DIRECTOR 0.02 X 0 0 0 JAMES BOLAND DIRECTOR 0.06 X 0 0 0 CECIL E ROBERTS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JACQUES LOVEALL DIRECTOR 0.19 X 0 0 0 SEAN M SPILLER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE L GOON DIRECTOR UNTIL NOVEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 HONORABLE RICHARD GEPHARDT DIRECTOR 0.08 X 0 0 0 BRIAN KELLEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CLIFF A ROBERTSON DIRECTOR 0.38 X 0 0 0 JAMES CAHILL DIRECTOR AS OF NOVEMBER 0.02 X 0 0 0 MARK BLUM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 30.00 30.00 X 304644 0 64651 484300 0 107605 2 0 1 0 MICHAEL J KAPSA 2501 PORTER ST NW 916 WASHINGTON DC 20008 PROGRAM CONSULTING 181387 1 MEMBERSHIP DUES & ASSESSMENTS 541900 24160704 24160704 EDUCATION FUND REIMBURSEMENT 541610 346221 346221 24506925 29233 29233 OTHER INCOME 900099 866 866 866 24537024 24506925 0 30099 23696848 23696848 591906 414335 118381 59190 36812 25769 7362 3681 8676 6073 1735 868 20791 14553 4159 2079 30717 21502 6143 3072 24279 24279 13716 13716 284377 273019 8322 3036 16418 8048 7220 1150 22343 15640 4469 2234 29690 29690 337 337 4911 3438 982 491 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 5390 3773 1078 539 LICENSES AND PERMITS 2616 2616 24789827 24512688 200799 76340 10000 9995 2863749 2124403 2282191 2874803 32794 7758 6783 6111 1009 672 4646 4646 5194389 5022277 2654 77257 2654 77257 X 5191735 4945020 5191735 4945020 5194389 5022277 -252803 6088 0 X 0 0 0 1 0 0 1348 1348 0 2935 2263 672 2500 2500 0 672 1 PBM ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT 1025 CONNECTICUT AVE NW STE 907 WASHINGTON DC 20036 842122458 N/A 23691048 0 PROGRAM SUPPORT 0 1 PART I, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION REQUIRES REPORTING OF FUNDS EXPENDED BY GRANTEES.
