Pharmacy Policy Shifts – Winning Strategies for Healthcare

Pharmacy benefits took the spotlight in a very active legislative session with a host of bills tackling drug pricing, federal discount programs, cost trends, compliance, and more. The implications could be broad and deep for hospitals and health systems, and inconsistent from state to state. 

RxBenefits’ regulatory expert, Wes Hill, and strategic healthcare advisor Sarah Hearn, share insights and interpretations for healthcare leaders in our latest ASHHRA podcast. 

This podcast will cover:

• Legislative changes – 1,500 state-level bills aim to increase transparency.  
• ERISA complications – Systems that operate in multiple states could experience compliance challenges. 
• Savings opportunities – New mandates could create opportunities to optimize spending. 
• Drug-level optimization – Find alternatives to high-cost medications. 
• Leveraging internal resources – Tap into the distinct skills and strengths of the in-house pharmacy and HR teams. 
• Ongoing lawsuits – Several state-level suits on ERISA and PBM permits could influence plan design going forward.
