This webinar will provide an update on new CGTs, what's in the pipeline, and ways consultants, manufacturers and vendor partners can support employers in making critical decisions to support their covered population, including:

Types of services consultants offer that contribute to an employer’s value-prop and bottom-line, along with recommendations on CGT coverage and financing models.
Top questions employers should ask vendor partners to ensure they have the right information to make decisions to support their covered population.
Potential role of pharmaceutical manufacturer warrantees for curative therapies to ensure the investment is effectively managing costs.
Ways employers can be better prepared for this new approach with so many stakeholders in the mix.

We hope you will join us to learn how relevant financial models can make these drugs more affordable for employers. We'll also review how employers and manufacturers can initiate effective discussions and work more collaboratively to deal with CGT coverage and cost.
