PBM protections against pharmacy fraud

Dear Editor:

Recently, a marketing manager at an independent pharmacy in Slidell, Louisiana pled guilty to illegally pressuring pharmacists to fill non-medically necessary prescriptions for patients, ultimately submitting fraudulent claims for reimbursement and pocketing the money. This kind of fraudulent activity negatively impacts patients and taxpayers and is also 700% more likely to occur at independent pharmacies opposed to chain or retail pharmacies. I formerly worked in the press shop for the Louisiana Attorney General and, in this capacity, saw arrests very similar to this across the state. There is always a victim on the other side of a crime. Cases like this show how severely bad actors can defraud everyday people out of their hard earned money. I am relieved this case ended in justice for the victims.
Earlier this year, these same special interest independent pharmacies pushed Louisiana lawmakers to weaken protections against this sort of fraud – a maneuver designed to undermine their competitors through heavy-handed regulation and boost their own profits.
Specifically, independent pharmacists have advocated for legislators to outlaw tools used by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to catch and stop fraud and abuse and provide lower drug costs for consumers. The Slidell case provides a clear example of why lawmakers must reject these proposals.
PBMs play a critical oversight role by auditing pharmacies they work with. This helps stop bad actors like the one in Slidell.
As lawmakers prepare to return for the 2022 legislative session, I hope they’ll work in the best interest of patients who rely on entities like PBMs to keep prescription drug prices down while also providing oversight of potentially bad actors in the pharmacy system. Lawmakers must get serious about protecting Louisiana families and patients – both from the hyper-inflated drug prices at the hands of bad actor independent pharmacies and from fraud that could cost our state millions.

The downtown bridge will close on Monday morning.

Abbeville: Downtown bridge closing Monday morning

Sun, 10/31/2021 - 12:45am

Will be closed from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily through Dec. 12

For those who travel across the downtown bridge in Abbeville, it will be closing, starting Monday between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
The Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has two digital signs on each side of the bridge informing drivers about the closer.
Expect the bridge to be closed to traffic for at least six to seven weeks, Abbeville Mayor Mark Piazza said.
The Mayor said DOTD will be changing the fenders (wooden pilings) under the bridge.
The fenders are placed under the bridge to protect the bridge from trash or other boats from hitting the bridge.
By Monday, a barge will be next to the bridge, and the bridge will be raised. The barge will remove the old wooden timbers and replace them with new ones.
Earlier this year, Mayor Mark Piazza attended a meeting in Lafayette with the Department of Transportation and Development to discuss flooding in the Vermilion River.
At the meeting, mayor Piazza asked DOTD to change the pilings under the downtown bridge because they helped block debris that flowed under the bridge.
DOTD is honoring his request and starting the project on Monday. According to Mayor Piazza, DOTD is expected to work seven days a week, which means the bridge will be unpassable all seven days of the week.
He informed Abbeville Police Chief William Spearman and Abbeville Fire Chief Jude Mire about the closure.
The fire department has a fire truck stationed on the west side of the river.
Traffic will be rerouted to the Bypass Bridge so expect heavy traffic throughout the day.

Buddy Breaux will officiate. Interment will follow at the church cemetery where Mr. Broussard will be laid to rest. The Iberia Veterans Honor Guard will perform military Honors.
A gathering of family and friends will take place at the church on Tuesday from 10:00 am until the service time.
A native and resident of Delcambre, Mr. Broussard passed away on Friday October 22, 2021 at East ridge Nursing Home in Abbeville. He was 95.
Murphy J. Broussard was the youngest of four children born on February 12, 1926 to Sagasta and Ada (Sonnier) Broussard. His father was killed in a mining accident at Jefferson Island when he was still an infant and “Mrs. Sag” raised her four young children as a single parent during the depression years.
In school, Murphy proved to be a boy of both musical and athletic skills. Basketball was his favorite sport and his voice was of good enough quality to have him featured singing on the radio during his high school years. In adult life, his sports interests turned into being a fan of both pro and college football games. His love for beautiful classical music always had him owning the best of stereos, speaker systems and the broadest of personal collections of all the greatest internationally known composers.
As a young adult, at the age of 17, Murphy enlisted in the United States Navy and was part of what we now respectfully call “The Greatest Generation”. He served in the Pacific Theater of WWII from 1943 – 1946 as Seaman First Class and received the United Nations Service Medal and the Asia-Pacific Victory Medal. In the Korean War he served in the Air Force from 1950 – 1953 as Airman 2nd Class and received the Korean Service Medal.
His longest employment was with American Cyanamid just north of New Orleans. He retired at an early age and returned to Delcambre, the town of his birth and younger years. He will forever be appreciated and lovingly remembered by his extended family.
Murphy Broussard was preceded in death by his parents Sagasta and Ada Broussard, his brother Dalton and wife Margie, his brother Presley, his sister Rose and her husband Kilren J. Cheramie, Jr., his nieces Denise Cheramie and Suzanne Cheramie Zaunbrecher, Sheila Broussard LeBlanc, and nephew Peter Broussard. He is survived by his nieces Colette Cheramie, Lisa Broussard Bowen, Maxine Broussard Johnson and nephews Michael Broussard and Kilren J. (Ren) Cheramie III.
Although never married or having his own children, Uncle Murphy's family always appreciated him as an outstanding uncle and great uncle who was always giving and kind and generous! He will be remembered with much love.
The family would like to thank the staff and nurses at Eastridge of Abbeville for the excellent care given to “Mr. Murphy” during the past 5 years. He was fortunate to live out the last chapter of his life in this community that cared well for their seniors and gave respect to these elders until their last breath.

UL Lafayette to continue masking protocol through fall semester

Fri, 10/29/2021 - 10:41am

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s masking requirement will remain in place through the end of the fall semester.
“The University's masking protocol has worked to successfully limit the spread of COVID-19, and we believe leaving the policy in place will enable us to continue to protect the well-being of the campus community,” UL Lafayette announced in an email to campus on Thursday.
“Employees, students, and visitors are still required to wear face coverings over their mouths and noses in all indoor spaces while on University property unless alone in their private offices or workspaces or while actively participating in indoor organized athletic activities,” the message continued.
UL Lafayette will reassess its COVID-19 health and safety guidelines before the start of the Spring 2022 semester and will communicate any changes to the campus community.
The full message to campus follows.
Although the statewide mask mandate was lifted on Tuesday, Oct. 26, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette will continue to follow its Interim Face Covering Policy and its COVID-19 health and safety guidelines through the end of the fall semester.

Maurice ‘waiting’ to become a town

Fri, 10/29/2021 - 8:55am

Needs ‘20 Census to be certified to move forward

MAURICE — Maurice’s transition from a village to a town is currently at a standstill.
Maurice Attorney Ricky LaFleur said during Wednesday’s monthly Maurice Board of Aldermen meeting that steps needed from the federal and state governments have not yet been completed.
“As of right now,” LaFleur said, “we have not received our official notice for the (2020 U.S.) Census.”
Earlier this year, the unofficial Census report showed Maurice with a population of 2,118, up from 964 in ‘10. That increase is more than enough to qualify Maurice as a town. However, that cannot happen until other things are in place.
“Until we get the certified report,” LaFleur said, “we’re in a holding pattern.”
Once that certification is received, the board of aldermen can pass a resolution to change Maurice’s classification from village to town. Maurice Mayor Wayne Theriot would then send that resolution to Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards’ office. The Maurice board would then adopt an ordinance that will be sent to Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin’s office.
“That will make if official,” LaFleur said.
Maurice’s three-person board of aldermen will then grow.
“It will kick in that we have to go to five aldermen,” Theriot said. “We have to appoint two aldermen.”
Those appointees will serve on the board until the next election, which will be held in November of ‘22. Qualifying will be in July. A special election is not required because the next municipal election for Maurice is less than 18 months away. Anyone interested in serving until the election can submit a letter to Theriot.
“We have two letters now,” Theriot said. “When the time comes, we will hold a special meeting to make the appointments. The board members will receive the nominations and then vote.”
Until then, as Tom Petty put it, “the waiting is the hardest part.”
“At the rate the federal government is going at getting us the certification,” Theriot said, “I’m hoping for the first of the year. The way it looks now, I’m not sure.
“I know there are people interested, but this is the process.”

Jim Bradshaw

Hard part was getting on the bike

Fri, 10/29/2021 - 8:53am

Jim Bradshaw, LSN columnist

The Old Spanish Trail that crossed south Louisiana owed its existence in part to a bicycle craze that swept America in the late 1890s, and south Louisiana was just as crazy as the rest of the nation. The fad put a spotlight on Jennings for a short while.
I’m sure you remember that in the late 1800s a coalition of farmers, bicyclists, riding clubs, and bike manufacturers formed the League of American Wheelmen to lobby for better country roads for riders to use. When cars came along, that effort turned into the Good Roads Movement, which led to formation of an Old Spanish Trail Association that pushed for a highway along the Gulf Coast.
South Louisiana bicycle riders played a small part in all of that. At the height of the craze, they were just as avid as any of them, and, according to an old article from the Jennings newspaper, “High wheel bicycle riding was one of the thrilling sports of the era.”
They were called “high wheel” bicycles because they had a huge front wheel and a little wheel in back, both with hard rubber tires, not air-filled ones like on today’s bikes. Most people rode them for pleasure, but bicycle races became one of the most popular attractions for fairs and festivities.
The Jennings paper wrote about bike riding because one of the best racers in the nation was Howard L. Cary. He was the son of S. L. Cary, one of the pioneers of Jennings. Howard was identified as a “railroad mail clerk,” which I think meant he was one of the guys who sorted letters in the railroad mail car. According to the article, he was more than six feet tall and rode a bicycle with a 56-inch front wheel, “which was among the largest in the state.”
A bigger wheel allowed a higher speed, but it also made it more difficult to get on to the bike in the first place.
Cary set the state speed record for bicycles in a race with Dr. George H. Tichenor, concoctor of “good ole Dr. Tichenor’s, best antiseptic in town,” (according to the old radio jingle). Tichenor practiced medicine in Baton Rouge from 1869 to 1887, and started bottling Dr. Tichenor’s Patent Medicine in New Orleans (alcohol, oil of peppermint, and the herb arnica) in the late 1880s.
Other bicyclists were more interested in endurance contests than speed.
An old hotel register in Jennings shows that F. E. Vanderbake of New York City was an overnight guest, passing through Jennings “on a wager to travel from New Orleans to San Francisco in one hundred days on a bicycle.”
Scientific American magazine commented on the craze in its edition of June 20, 1896, noting that by then the “bicycle built for two” had become popular, and that racing bikes for four or even six men were being tried.
That was about the time that the first “cushion” tires were introduced. They were built like a garden hose and were glued to the rim of the wheel. Pneumatic tires as we know them didn’t come along for another few years.
Their smoother ride increased the popularity of the bicycle even more and, according to the article, turned a bike into “something more than mere toy but a real help in both business and pleasure.”
That led to the invention of “all sorts of attachments” for the bikes, including a small motor. Those early motorbikes met with such success that some guys decided to make a four-wheeled machine that was powered by an internal combustion engine.
Those first cars completed the circle begun by the bicyclists, creating a still bigger demand for good roads.

Jamie Davis

Abbeville Police, other agencies involved in pursuit; Abbeville man wanted

Fri, 10/29/2021 - 8:27am

Numerous law enforcement agencies have been unable to locate an Abbeville man who led officers on a pursuit across several parishes Thursday afternoon.
On Oct. 28, at approximately 1:15 p.m., officers with the Abbeville Police Department attempted to make a traffic stop.
According the Abbeville Police Department, the driver of the vehicle, Jamie Davis of Abbeville, was known to have felony warrants related to a recent shooting within the city of Abbeville.
Once officers initiated their emergency overhead lights, the vehicle failed to stop. The vehicle then gained speed and attempted to elude officers. While officers had their emergency lights and sirens on, the vehicle continued to flee. The vehicle swerved into the “push bumpers” of one of the marked police units, causing damage to the unit as well as the rear bumper of the vehicle Davis was driving.
Officers continued to chase the vehicle throughout the city. Officers then pursued the vehicle outside of the city limits. The vehicle traveled to LA Hwy. 339, where it headed north. Officers pursued the vehicle through the outskirts of Youngsville, Milton and Maurice. Officers continued to pursue the vehicle when it traveled to LA Hwy. 699, then north to Duson, then to Rayne.
At various points during the pursuit, Davis drove in excess of 100 mph on residential roadways, and attempted to ram police vehicles off of the road. The vehicle went off of the roadway in Rayne near I-10, where it drove on the levee. The vehicle stopped in a field near the levee and the driver fled on foot, crossing I-10. K9 officers with the Lafayette Sheriff’s Office and Rayne Police Department started a track to attempt to find Davis. Officers were unable to locate Davis at this time.
Davis is wanted on the following charges:
• Arrest Warrant for Aggravated 2nd Degree Battery Involving Domestic Abuse with Child Endangerment
• Arrest Warrant for Obstruction of Justice
• Arrest Warrant for Illegal Use of Weapons or Dangerous Instrumentalities
• Arrest Warrant for Possession of a Firearm by a Person Convicted of Certain Felonies
• Arrest Warrant for Possession of a Firearm in a Firearm-Free Zone
Additional charges stemming from this pursuit are also pending. Mr. Davis should be considered armed and dangerous. If anyone locates, Mr. Davis, the Abbeville Police Department is asking that you contact your local law enforcement and do not attempt to confront Mr. Davis.
Abbeville Chief of Police William Spearman would like to thank the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office, Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office, Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Office, Louisiana State Police, Duson Police Department and Rayne Police Department who all assisted in the pursuit of the violent felon.
The Abbeville Police Department is asking that anyone who have any information regarding any criminal case to please contact the Abbeville Police Department by calling 893-2511. You may contact our “Tips” line at 892-6777. All callers may remain anonymous. Citizens may also send anonymous tips through the Vermilion Crime Stoppers P3 app, which can be downloaded through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, or calling 740-TIPS.

Floyd James Broussard

Fri, 10/29/2021 - 7:52am

March 25, 1935 ~ October 26, 2021

KAPLAN — A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, October 30, 2021 at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church honoring the life of Floyd James Broussard, 86, who died Tuesday, October 26, 2021 at his residence. He will be laid to rest at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Cemetery with Reverend Mark Miley officiating the services. Serving as pallbearers will be his three sons, Gary, Eric and Todd Broussard; two grandsons, Aaron and Matthew Broussard; and grandson-in-law, Kevin Choate.
Floyd was born in a small farm house five miles north of Kaplan. Growing up on a rural farm, times were tough, work was hard and conveniences were few. He grew up without electricity or running water. They did not have a lot monetarily but they felt they were wealthy beyond measure because of the love of their family, faith, work ethic, friends and neighbors. He shared many stories of his youth and spoke of sitting on the front porch listening to his grampa tell stories in French and being spoiled by his gram-maw. He started working young in the rice fields, riding horseback to bring water to workers during plowing, planting and harvest. He picked cotton with his parents and siblings to earn extra money for the family. He graduated from Kaplan High in 1954. He retired from SLEMCO after 32 years working in Vermilion Parish helping countless customers who became lifelong friends. He also spent 16 years with the Police Jury providing the same level of service to the Kaplan area.
Floyd was drafted into the US Army, and spent six years in the Reserves where he attained the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-6).
He enjoyed camping and traveled our great country with family and friends. He trapped and was a hunting guide at Pecan Island, crawfished at Forked Island and helped teach NRA hunting and safety courses. He was always working on projects, from fixing things around the house and helping others.
He was a devout Catholic who loved and cared about his church, helping with the upkeep and repairs to the church pews. He also had a love for the rosary, which he prayed daily.
Floyd was an artist. Some of his doodling became drawings which lead to some amazing paintings. He was asked by many nephews and nieces for help with drawing for their school projects.
To our family he was dad or paw. To others he was known as Uncle Floyd, Bruce and Flooskie. He loved family get-togethers, many early mornings roasting turkeys on the ole smokey grill, Bar-B-Q’s, fish fry’s, crawfish boils, gumbos and countless games of Bourre’ (Boo-ray). Floyd loved speaking Cajun French and was proud of his Acadian Heritage.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Geneva "Genny" Nunez Broussard of Kaplan; three sons, Gary Broussard and his wife, Sheila of Bossier City, Eric Broussard and his wife, Andrea D. of Coteau and Todd Broussard of Kaplan; two sisters, Bertile Harrington and her husband, Mahlen of Nunez and Audrey Simon and her husband, Dayton of Abbeville; one brother, Theodore “Sam” Broussard and his wife, Dee of Cow Island; three grandchildren, Aaron Broussard and his wife, Julie of Kingwood, TX, Matthew Broussard and his wife, Eryn of San Angelo, TX and Ashley Choate and her husband, Kevin of Kaplan; eight great grandchildren, Eva Broussard, Aubrey Broussard, Brielle Broussard, Clara Broussard, Hayden Broussard, Rylan Broussard, Charlotte Choate and Samuel Choate; three step grandchildren, Ashley Sumrall, Brady Sumrall and his wife, Lauren and Emily Lancon; and five step great grandchildren, Cameron Decuir, Kale Decuir, Landon Decuir, Amalie Sumrall and Caroline Sumrall.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank Broussard and the former Eve Abshire; two brothers, Wilson Broussard and Wilbert Broussard; and two sisters, Thelma Broussard and Ethel Broussard.
The family wishes to send their heartfelt thanks to the many friends that called or visited during Floyd’s illness. Your prayers, calls and visits provided much comfort, joy, and encouragement. The family would like to also thank Hospice of Acadiana especially his nurse, Whitney Credeur for her care and compassion.
The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Vincent Funeral Home - Kaplan, 300 N. Eleazar Ave., on Saturday, October 30, 2021 from 9:00 AM until the procession departs for the church at 12:45 PM with a rosary being prayed at 11:00 AM.
In lieu of flowers, the family request that donations be made in his name to Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church or Hospice of Acadiana.
All funeral arrangements are being conducted by Vincent Funeral Home of Kaplan, (337) 643-7276 [Service Information 225-5276]. Condolences may be sent to the Broussard family at www.vincentfuneralhome.net.
