Navigating the PBM/Payer Dynamic for Specialty Pharmacy

Specialty pharmaceuticals represent over half of all pharmaceutical spend. As a result, many health systems have either started their own specialty pharmacy operations or are considering doing so. One of the greatest challenges facing health system specialty pharmacies is understanding how to penetrate the unique specialty pharmacy payer market. In contrast to the medical benefit payer space that health systems are accustomed to, the pharmacy benefit payer environment requires a whole new set of considerations and skills in order to obtain access and grow the specialty pharmacy businesses. 

Attend this webinar to gain insight into the unique dynamics associated with the relationship between pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), payers and specialty pharmacies. You’ll learn more about associated challenges and begin to learn how to approach and overcome the barriers associated with the PBM/payer market.
