First and foremost getting the message out to employers that you simply cannot trust non-transparent PBMs and any of their scheming programs or initiatives! Oh and you need to move away from them ASAP :-) Incompetent employer benefit administrators who know better and still continue to do business with the Big 3 are nothing more than complicit partners in their monopolistic activities; assisting with their money laundering scheme to defraud and steal from employees, patients, pharmacies, local economies, taxpayers, etc... I believe #MarkCuban said employers are KEY! They are locking tens of millions of patients into the 3 Big PBMs pharmacy networks to be able to receive any of the benefit they pay for. ZERO patient choice! Yet, fork-tongued PBMs, PCMA and employers LIE saying "patients are allowed to fill at a local pharmacy", which usually equates to one fill then pay full cost of an over-exaggerated amount as a mafia extortion tactic. Of course employers are defending this outrageously costly contractual arrangement to benefit the #PBMs and the unwitting employers are the #fiduciary to employee not the PBMs. So not smart! #pbmreform #fiduciary #pharmacy #pharmd #pharmacies #communitypharmacy #specialty #MTM #associations #conciergepharmacists #telepharmacy #wellness #pharmacovigilance #pharmacist #futureofpharmacy #capitalrx #smithrx #affirmedrx #transparencyRX #Rightway #collusion #anticompetitive #monopoly #oligopoly #transparency #steering #ncpa #mafia #patientchoice

The topic of the J&J suit and the role of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM’s) in the lack of transparency of drug prices paid by employers has been covered extensively. But it's worth mentioning again. If you are an employer with a self-funded health plan, you need to take notice. In this situation, the employer was sued, not the Pharmacy Benefit Manager. The need for greater transparency in drug prices has never been greater and is according to many experts, the biggest driver of medical trend. Take a peek at the following article. Give me a shout if you want to discuss. #employeebenefits #pharmacybenefitmanagers
