The growth in prescription drug coverage has led to increased complexity in the delivery and reimbursement of medications. PBMs are organizations which address this complexity by impacting most aspects of the pharmaceutical supply chain.

The Trump Administration’s recently announced initiative to reduce prescription drug costs recognizes the important role that these organizations play. Consequently, it’s essential for counsel to have a basic understanding of a PBM’s role and the laws governing its activities.

We have put together an on-demand course, in conjunction with AHLA and Gregory Mitchell from HEALIX, to introduce the fundamentals for representing PBMs. This program is relevant not only for PBM attorneys, but also for counsel who represent the numerous entities and individuals directly impacted by PBM operations, including health plans, employers, third party administrators, pharmacies, drug manufacturers, drug wholesalers and patients.

For more information and to access the free course, click here.
