Jan. 17 – Prescription drug middlemen: Examining the role of pharmacy benefit managers

January 17 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

Pharmacy benefit managers sit at the center of the supply chain on drugs, and a national debate on costs. They say they play an integral role in negotiating lower prices. But pharmacists and drug makers contend they are pocketing too much of the savings. That’s led to calls for more transparency and reform of the practice, including a recent measure in Wisconsin.

How important are PBMs and what impact do they have on costs? A panel of experts will tackle these questions and more at a Wisconsin Health News event on Jan. 17.

Panelists:

  • Sarah Sorum, CEO, Pharmacy Society of Wisconsin
  • Darren Gettings, Chief Supply Chain Officer, CarelonRx
  • Sen. Mary Felzkowski, R-Irma
  • Brent Eberle, Chief Pharmacy Officer, Navitus
