SB 316 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to insurance. (BDR 57-777)

SB 316 regulates pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), the companies that manage prescription drug coverage for insurers. It prohibits PBMs from steering patients to affiliated pharmacies, requiring them to disclose fees and rebates to insurers, and mandating that PBMs pass all rebates to insurers. Insurers must then use these rebate funds exclusively to lower premiums or reduce patient cost-sharing for prescriptions, and cannot charge patients more than the insurer pays for a drug. This directly affects PBMs, health insurers, and patients by increasing transparency and reducing out-of-pocket costs.
