Auditor General says DHS failed to oversee pharmacy benefit managers, costing taxpayers

Pennsylvania Auditor General Tim DeFoor has released a report detailing how the Department of Human Services failed to adequately oversee pharmacy benefit managers that provide prescription drug services for Pennsylvanians enrolled in Medicaid. The result, DeFoor said, meant Pennsylvanians paid an estimated $7 million more for the Medicaid program in 2022 alone.
