What potential PBM changes could mean for employers | Asembia AXS26 Summit

Aside from the midterm elections, Avalere Health is monitoring how PBM reform is going to change the employer market, according to Mina Allo, managing director of market access at Avalere Health.

“Who's truly going to adapt?” Allo said in a recent interview with Managed Healthcare Executive.

Mike Ciarametaro, managing director of policy at Avalere Health, also took part in the conversation.

“The fact that the working hypothesis is that the House is going to be different than the Senate indicates that there's likely not going to be a lot of cooperation, given how contentious the upcoming presidential election is going to be, and each party is going to want to kind of develop its own specific health care platform,” Ciarametaro added.

Allo and Ciaramatero presented today at Asembia’s 2026 Specialty Pharmacy Summit, being held in Las Vegas from April 26 to April 30. They spoke during a session called, ‘Healthcare and Drug Pricing at a Crossroads: Policy Directions Ahead of the Midterms.’
