Bonus Episode – In this bonus episode, Commissioner Mulready gives a recap of his testimony in front of the House Ways and Means Committee’s Health Subcommittee Hearing entitled  “Why Health Care is Unaffordable: Anticompetitive and Consolidated Markets.” Last week, Commissioner Mulready went to the nation’s capitol to share Oklahoma’s story on developing one of the strongest Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) compliance programs in the country. Since 2021, Oklahoma has built a robust regulatory program that has issued over $3.5 million in fines and returned over $700,000 to local independent pharmacies through administrative action and settlement agreements.
