TPA’s
PharmPAC Luncheon, featuring State Representative Toni Rose (D-Dallas), was held July 26
during the 2024 TPA Conference & Expo.
Rose serves as vice chair of
the House Human Services Committee and on the Select Committee on Health
Care Reform, as well as on the Committees on Appropriations (vice chair
of Article II Subcommittee), Calendars, and Redistricting. In 2023,
Rose authored and fought for legislation that would have required
Medicaid managed care organizations and their pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to reimburse
pharmacies based on NADAC plus a professional dispensing fee.
Rose
held the audience’s attention as she spoke candidly about working with
other legislators of both parties and in both houses of the Legislature
and took audience questions about how pharmacy professionals can best
advocate for their profession and the patients they serve.
