Every day, countless GI patients face delays and denials in getting the treatments they need due to step therapy protocols. As a result, this red tape can delay access to needed care and result in serious or irreversible health outcomes. The Safe Step Act (H.R. 2630/S. 652) serves as a crucial piece of legislation designed to protect patients by ensuring timely access to prescribed medications without requiring them to try and fail other drugs before receiving coverage. As the final Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) package is being negotiated, please join us in taking action by contacting your members of Congress and urging their support for the Safe Step Act. Let’s work together to pass the #SafeStepAct and ensure that patients have access to the medications they need! Use our easy take action alert: https://ow.ly/3oy250SHGij
