The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Labor, and Treasury for failing to enforce a drug price transparency rule.
This rule mandates that group health plans and health insurers publish the prices of prescription drugs in order to provide consumers with complete pricing information for medications. The FGA claims in their March 23 press release that the three departments have violated the rule by failing to enforce it.
