Pharmacy MAC Rights

All states › Response tracker

Who actually answers

Forty jurisdictions impose duties on PBMs to disclose MAC pricing and to answer appeals within a stated number of days. Nobody publishes whether those duties are met. Not the states, not the PBMs, not the trade press.

So this is the record, built from what owners report. It will be thin for a while and the sample size sits next to every number, because a handful of reports is a handful of reports and presenting it as a finding would make this site exactly the kind of source it was built to correct.

Everything else on this site is free and open and stays that way — the statutes, the request letter, the deadline calculator, the PBM contacts. So are the response rates below. The one thing you have to add a report to read is what other pharmacies wrote about how it actually went, because that part only exists if people put it there.

What they say they will do

Half of the eight endpoints publish a turnaround they hold themselves to. The other half publish nothing at all, which is its own answer. This column is from each PBM's own guide — the right-hand column is the one only pharmacies can fill in.

PBM What they publish What owners report
Caremark 30 calendar days No reports yet
Express Scripts Nothing published No reports yet
OptumRx 7 business days, Tennessee only No reports yet
Prime 3 business days to acknowledge, 7 to investigate No reports yet
Humana 30 business days No reports yet
MedImpact Nothing published No reports yet
Script Care Nothing published No reports yet
RxSense Nothing published No reports yet

Turnarounds as published by each PBM in its own appeal guide. Where a PBM publishes nothing, your state statute is the only clock that binds it — which your state page gives you.

Illustration only. The bars below are made-up numbers against made-up labels, shown so you can see the shape of the thing. No real PBM is named here and none of this is data. The section above is the real one, and it is empty because nobody has reported yet.

Answered at all

PBM A82% (17)
PBM B61% (23)
PBM C34% (12)

Days to respond, median

PBM A6d (14)
PBM B18d (14)
PBM C25d (4)

Every figure would carry its report count, and nothing publishes below five reports for a PBM. That threshold is the point: a response rate built on three reports is not a finding.


Report a response

About two minutes. Everything except the state, the PBM and what happened is optional.

The request
What came back
Leave blank if they never answered.
How it went, what they said, whether you had to chase. Please do not paste prices, NDC-level pricing or any part of a MAC list — those are confidential under most provider manuals and we do not want them.
You — optional
Only so we can check a detail if something looks off. Never shown, never sold, never added to a list unless you tick the box.

Reports are checked by a person before they count toward anything published here. That is slower, and it is the only way a public record about named companies is worth anything.
