Article

Frier Levitt co-founder Jonathan Levitt, Esq. and pharmacist attorney Dae Lee, Pharm.D., Esq., CPBS talk about Plan Sponsors and Cost Containment Strategies. In attempt to address the rising costs of prescription drugs, Plan Sponsors have turned to the services of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). However, PBMs have taken a turn for the negative in this case.

[00:00:32] Do PBMs Audit Pharmacies?

[00:00:46] PBMs are recouping hundreds of millions of dollars from pharmacies.

[00:01:35] For every dollar a PBM collects from a pharmacy, it probably keeps 50%.

Frier Levitt works in Plan Sponsors’ best interests, helping to reduce costs and prevent any mistreatment or abusive practices.
