What are you really paying for when you fill a prescription?

In this episode, Justin sits down with Dr. Sadie Mannino Bennett, a board-certified pharmacotherapy specialist and second-generation pharmacist from Louisiana, to break down the real costs behind pharmacy benefits.

They discuss:

• What makes up the true cost of a prescription

• Why local pharmacies are being reimbursed below cost

• The role of PBMs in driving up plan expenses

• How "gag clauses" once blocked pharmacists from helping patients

• The impact of rebates, clawbacks, and vertical integration

• Why independent pharmacies still matter to your plan

If you're a CFO, HR leader, or employer trying to control pharmacy spend without sacrificing care, this episode gives you the clarity and context you're not getting from your current PBM.
