Meet the Middleman: Making Sense of PBMs

Confused about the practices of prescription benefit managers (PBMs)? You’re not alone. They’re some of the least transparent participants in the health care industry. It’s a guessing game for many pharmacies to understand, let alone predict, the reimbursement they can expect from PBMs for their dispensing activities. Join this presentation for an inside look at PBMs, their impact on the drug distribution system, and how paying a middleman affects your practice. We’ll also discuss recent regulatory developments that affect PBMs along with drug pricing and access issues. If you’re wondering about the incongruent policy issues that drive legislative and regulatory efforts, we’ll cover those too.
