The landscape of prescription benefits is rapidly evolving, with significant changes driven by government and legal proceedings impacting costs, regulations, and transparency. This session will explore the latest developments and what to expect moving forward, with a primary focus on the rising cost of prescription drugs and its effect on group health plans. As patents for many biologic drugs expire, biosimilar alternatives are entering the market at more competitive price points. We will examine strategies within the Prescription Benefit Management (PBM) space, including key considerations for PBM carveouts, program offerings, and the differences between various PBM models to help employers optimize their benefits approach.
