How PBMs Control Prices
And What Employers Can Do About It
June 21, 2023
University Club Chicago
and virtual
8:30 AM to 4:15 PM (CT)
Employers are facing unprecedented times in health care and pharmacy benefits. As plan fiduciaries, their responsibilities are in the spotlight. New legislation has already passed, with more potentially on the horizon as the Senate Finance Committee continues to uncover the truth about how PBMs control the market and flow of money.

What are the critical strategies employers need to implement, now and in the future? Does the entire system need a reboot? Should the government intervene? How can we stop the madness?
