From the meeting
DMAS said implementation of a single pharmacy benefits manager was delayed to January 1, 2028. The item is important because it signals an unresolved implementation path and a longer runway before the pharmacy benefits model changes. Pharmacy services and PBM vendors should treat this as follow-on intelligence rather than a new award.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
