Beyond the Middleman: What to Look for in a PBM That Works

What separates a PBM that adds value from one that just adds costs?

Along the way, they unpack the impact of high-cost drugs like GLP-1s, share real-world examples of savings, and show how the right PBM strategy can lower costs without cutting care.
