They say they play an integral role in negotiating lower prices. But pharmacists and drug makers contend they are pocketing too much of the savings. That’s led to calls for more transparency and reform of the practice\, including a recent measure in Wisconsin. \nHow important are PBMs and what impact do they have on costs? A panel of experts will tackle these questions and more at a Wisconsin Health News event on Jan. 17. \nPanelists: \n\nSarah Sorum\, CEO\, Pharmacy Society of Wisconsin\nSean Stephenson\, Director\, State Affairs\, Pharmaceutical Care Management Association\nSen.
