The company announced a new pricing model for its pharmacy benefit management services Wednesday morning. The White House has been an active critic of PBMs, which negotiate drug discounts on behalf of employers and health plans, arguing that they have distorted the drug-pricing system. Drugmakers pay rebates than can amount to more than 50 percent of a drug’s sticker price to secure favorable coverage on PBM drug lists, and critics contend that firms like CVS keep an excessive slice of those undisclosed payments.

CVS Caremark to roll out new pricing model guaranteeing health plan clients 100% of drug rebates
CVS Health Corp. announced Wednesday that CVS Caremark, its prescription benefit management (PBM) subsidiary, will be rolling out a new model of pricing it says will offer greater "drug cost predictability and pricing simplicity." Under the model, CVS plans to pass through 100% of drug rebates to its health plan clients and says it will be accountable for the impact of drug price inflation and shifts in drug mix. CVS, which completed its $69 billion acquisition of health insurer Aetna last week, said it would begin rolling out the new model starting in 2019. PBMs and the rebates they receive from drug companies have come under increasing scrutiny and criticism in the past two years, with policymakers and clients calling for greater transparency of their financial arrangements. Shares of CVS have increased 8.8% in the year to date, while the S&P 500 has gained 1%.

The "guaranteed net cost" option could also deflect growing criticism that pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) reap gains off the widening gap between pharmaceutical list prices and their lower net cost after hefty rebates paid by drugmakers to secure coverage and access to their products. President Donald Trump, who has promised lower prescription drug costs for U.S. consumers, earlier this year singled out industry "middlemen", such as PBMs and insurers, and the common practice of drugmakers offering rebates to them.

Judge Richard Leon of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia had complained last week in a hearing that the two sides had treated him as a "rubber stamp" for the agreement.

[$$] Federal Judge Voices Concerns About Justice Dept. Approval of CVS-Aetna Deal
WASHINGTON—A federal judge on Monday sharply questioned the Justice Department’s decision to green-light CVS Health Corp.’s nearly $70 billion acquisition of Aetna Inc., and said he may order CVS to halt its integration of Aetna’s assets while he considers the merger’s implications. It is highly unusual for a judge to make such an announcement, since Justice Department antitrust enforcers had approved the deal in October under the condition the companies sell Aetna’s Medicare drug business to preserve competition. When the Justice Department identifies concerns with a merger—and reaches an agreement with the merging companies to address them—a federal law called the Tunney Act requires the government to file the proposed settlement for approval by a federal court, which determines whether the deal is in the public interest.
