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? Host Mike Schroeder and guest Daniel Demyan dig into the traits of an effective PBM—transparent contracts, real-time data, clinical programs, and alignment with employer goals. 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.
