ASHP on PBMs Part 4: What is a PBM GPO?

Broadcast Date: November 12, 2024


ABOUT THIS PODCAST

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 look at the rise of so-called “PBM Group Purchasing Organizations” – affiliated entities recently established by each of the major PBMs. Critics allege that PBM GPOs do not add value to the healthcare system and function solely to enable PBMs to collect excessive profits.
