S7, Ep 2- PBM Reform at an Inflection Point: What Comes Next?

Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) reform has reached a turning point. In this episode of Healthcare Matters, Dr. Robert Popovian and Ben Blanc are joined by Bob Schenk, RPh, to break down the latest wave of federal and state reforms, including the FTC settlement with Express Scripts. From pharmacy-level claims transparency to rebate reform and vertical integration, the conversation explores what’s changed, what’s still missing, and how these shifts could affect employers, patients, and healthcare costs nationwide. As regulatory pressure builds, the big question remains: will transparency lead to true accountability, or simply new revenue strategies?
