AH033 – Never Move Again™, a Paradigm Shift in Pharmacy Benefits, with AJ Loiacono

In this episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast, AJ Loiacono, co-founder & CEO of Capital Rx, joins Justin Venneri to discuss Never Move Again™, the recently launched "unbundled" pharmacy benefit administration solution for large employers. It turns out larger employer groups, TPAs, and other groups with 50,000+ lives are very similar to health plans, which value the flexibility and transparency an unconflicted administrator provides. Supported by JUDI®, our single scalable enterprise health platform and a world-class call center, plan fiduciaries now have an option that addresses the pain points of CAA compliance and the friction of switching PBMs over time.The program's transparent, flat-fee structure ensures no incentive to push more expensive drugs, leverage hidden markups, or otherwise profit at the plan's expense - aligning with the fiduciary duties under ERISA.JUDI Health is the solution's core, providing a fully integrated system that allows clients to use their preferred services - point solutions, other vendors, rebate aggregators, or even pharmacy network options.Never Move Again™ is a return to the original, independent role of PBMs, offering a more ethical and efficient future for U.S. healthcare.Additionally, and please forgive the shameless plug, AJ joined Josh Golden, SVP of Strategy here at Capital Rx, who we spoke with earlier this year about future-proofing your pharmacy benefit plan (AH008), on September 19, 2024, at 2:00 PM ET for an educational webinar explaining our new offering: Build a Lasting Pharmacy Benefit Strategy with Never Move Again™.Related ContentCapital Rx Launches Never Move Again™, Enabling Self-Funded Plan Sponsors to Perpetually Access the Best Drug Prices Without Ever Having to Reimplement a PlanViVE 2023 Highlights: What's Behind the Price Tag of MedicationAH032 - Prescription Rebates: Agreements, Guarantees, and More, with NPC's John O'Brien, PharmD, MPH, and Julie Patterson, PharmD, PhDLearn more about Never Move Again™ HERE.For more information about Capital Rx and this episode, please visit Capital Rx Insights.
