This podcast is part of a series unpacking harmful PBM practices. The series will inform listeners about PBMs’ influence over nearly all aspects of patient care and the profession of pharmacy. The series will also identify key resources and strategies enabling pharmacy professionals to engage in effective advocacy efforts to achieve meaningful PBM reform.
In this episode, we discuss how PBMs have co-opted specialty pharmacy practice to maximize their profits at the direct expense of patients, how policymakers can address these practices and how pharmacists can push back against these actions.
