7 takeaways from the MHE webinar on PBM reform and transparency

Managed Healthcare Executive, along with Pharmacy Times, The American Journal of Managed Care and the Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute, hosted a webinar today titled “A Look at PBM Reform and Transparency: Payer, Provider and Patient Impact." The webinar featured a conversation among three panelists with three different vantage points on pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs): Robyn S. Crosson, vice president of government relations at Navitus Health Solutions, a midsize PBM that bills itself as a transparent alternative to the large PBMs; Elizabeth Mitchell, president and CEO of the Purchaser Business Group on Health (PBGH), a trade group for large, self-insured employers; and Kathy W. Oubre, M.S., CEO of Pontchartrain Cancer, a community oncology practice outside of New Orleans. Ron Lanton III, senior partner and strategist at Lanton, Lanton, and Sosa, moderated the discussion.
