The Pharmaceutical Care Management Association, a national group that represents pharmacy benefit managers, filed a lawsuit Jan. 12 challenging a rebate rule passed by HHS last November.

The rule eliminates rebates drugmakers pay to pharmacy benefit managers. It was intended by HHS to simplify the drug-pricing system and to pass discounts to consumers. Drugmakers have supported the rule, but most pharmacy benefit managers oppose it.
