Join the DFW Chapter of ISCEBS for a webinar "Pharmacy Benefit Managers - What ERISA Fiduciary Duties Relate to Prescription Drug Plans" on Thursday, May 22nd at 12:00 pm Central.

Prescription drug costs keep escalating. What is driving these high costs? Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) are a large part of the problem. Understanding where PBMs fit into the drug pricing puzzle is a key issue for plan fiduciaries. This is highlighted in recent complaints filed against plan sponsors (in their fiduciary capacity) claiming they breached their fiduciary duties due to the mismanagement of the PBM for the health plans. 

The following will be discussed:

  • An explanation of PBMs
  • Basic concepts of how PBMs make money from health plans
  • How to read and negotiate a PBM contract
  • How the new transparency rules under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) provide tools for employers to negotiate PBM contracts
  • Recent cases
  Our speaker is Mary Powell, Director with Trucker Huss.
