Cancer care continues to be one of the most complex and costly challenges facing employers. This guide translates research and employer-focused insights into practical, actionable strategies for employers, healthcare purchasers, health plan sponsors, HR leaders, and coalition partners.

In this third newly released interview, Dr. Christa-Marie Singleton shares insights on why employers should rethink prior authorization, the importance of evaluating sites of care, and the role of relevant wraparound services in supporting cancer patients throughout their treatment journey.

Most PBM contracts rely on rebates and other retrospective pricing mechanisms — including discounts, guarantees, and reconciliation processes that determine the final net cost of drugs — only after claims have already been processed.

To help employers and other healthcare purchasers navigate this complicated process, a new resource is available: "How Retrospective Discounts Increase Risk and Costs." This practical guide will help employers better understand how retrospective pricing can drive volatility in pharmacy spend and shift risk to plan sponsors. Learn more by joining our upcoming webinar on June 17.

The National Alliance is pleased to partner with Peterson Health Analytics, a new public-benefit company, created by Peterson Philanthropies to help self-funded employers gain better access to, and make better use of their healthcare data.

Serving as the employer recruitment and engagement partner, we will deliver Peterson Health Analytics’ data analysis and solutions throughout our more than 40 purchasing coalition members and their employer/purchaser members across the country. Learn more.
