Description

For decades the PBM industry has been plagued by misalignment, opacity, and consolidation. With the “Big Three” PBMs controlling nearly 80% of the market, the fox is truly guarding the henhouse. 

In conjunction with the Annual Forum, National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions has launched a PBM Hub, a pioneering initiative to foster collaboration, education, and innovation among employer/purchasers and the next generation of PBMs. 

The National Alliance, its member coalitions, and employer/purchaser members have the power to influence policy reforms that address harmful PBM practices. PBM Hub participants will learn to confidently set expectations for enhanced transparency, consultant independence, and value-based care. 

Key takeaways: 

  • Understand the National Alliance PBM misalignment initiative 

  • Learn what plan sponsors need for meaningful pharmacy oversight 

  • Gain clarity about rebates, group purchasing organizations (GPOs), and claims-level data access 

  • Dive deep into PBM contracts to avoid pitfalls 

  • Get comfortable with the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) and how to minimize risks in benefit design 

  • Influence biosimilar strategies and formulary design 

  • Forge a clear path to affordable drug pricing through improved negotiations

This event is by invitation only and exclusively open to employers.
