AZ SB1710

Prohibits pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from steering patients to their affiliated pharmacies through data mining, financial incentives, solicitation, or requiring prescription transfers without written patient consent.

Bars PBMs from paying their affiliated pharmacies higher reimbursement rates than non-affiliated pharmacies for the same products or services.

Prevents PBMs and health insurers from requiring clinician-administered drugs to be dispensed by a pharmacy as a condition of coverage, or imposing higher costs when drugs are administered at a prescriber's office or outpatient setting instead of a pharmacy.

Requires PBMs to submit annual transparency reports to the Department of Insurance by March 1, 2027, detailing rebates received, administrative fees, reimbursements paid to pharmacies, and their complete corporate structure.

Violations occurring with frequency indicating a general business practice constitute consumer fraud under Arizona law and are subject to investigation by the department.
