Stacie Dusetzina, PhD, Professor of Health Policy, Ingram Professor of Cancer Research, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, makes her long-awaited return to the show to cover all things related to pharmacy benefit managers. Stacie talks about the good, the bad, and the ugly, starting with the history of the PBMs and how they grew within the healthcare industry. What exactly is the role of the PBMs and why do they exist? Have they helped in reducing cost of care, and if not, why? Why are they heavily criticized? Stacie, as always, articulates the facts and separates the signal from noise.
