Connecticut’s 2025 reform (Public Act 25-167) does not create a reimbursement floor. Its operative new provision, effective January 1, 2026, requires a PBM to offer a health plan the option of being charged the same price the PBM pays the pharmacy — a pass-through pricing option for the plan, not a guaranteed minimum payment to pharmacies.
Some secondary summaries describe a NADAC-plus-dispensing-fee floor for rural independent pharmacies; that language does not appear in the enacted Public Act and should not be treated as Connecticut law. The act’s reimbursement-related protections are pass-through, transparency, and rebate reporting.
