We wanted to thank your office for meeting with us in February to discuss the issue of copay accumulator programs. As you may recall, on March 9, 2020, you and your cc’ed colleagues signed a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), expressing concern over the 2021 Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters (NBPP) proposed rule, which provides health plans with broad authority to implement copay accumulator programs. On behalf of patients throughout the country, we wanted to sincerely thank you for sending that letter and provide you with an update on the status of the rule.
