“I’ve written this book, because it’s time to ring the bell about the travesty perpetuated by the hired guns in the health insurance industry …before it’s too late. It’s time to understand the corrupt practice of the PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGER (PBM) in the administration of our drug benefit programs. These third-party administrators contracted by health plans, employers, government entities, and unions have are the gatekeepers of your prescription drug benefits programs. They choose how much pharmacists get paid for the prescription and what you pay as a copay.
PBMs are like wild outlaws, running the industry behind the scenes with no supervision or regulation on their decisions or actions. Aligning with big-box pharmacies, they are systematically wiping out independent pharmacies across the nation as they line their pockets.
