So much to appreciate about the Greater Cincinnati Employers Group on Health meeting today at Creatives On Call in Blue Ash! ⚡ Our speakers Gloria Sachdev & Shawn Gremminger captivated the audience with their expertise on strategies to combat rising employer drug costs (which are exploding at an exponential rate) Some top takeaways for me include: 💡 Take a look at "Site of Service/Care" in your plan. You can create a better experience for your employee (and save a ton of claim dollars) by having infusion meds delivered at on offsite infusion center, instead of in the hospital. 💡 Ask for and review your PBM contracts to understand how changes to the formulary are made and how they impact your plan 💡 Ask for an audit of your pharmacy claims 💡 Check out this article from the FTC on how PBMs are impacting drug costs https://lnkd.in/g9UjzF4v 💡 Check out the Sage Transparency Tool at https://lnkd.in/gsvgTbvb to see how the different hospital systems in your area compare on price & outcomes. 🔥 The space is fantastic, and the staff are super friendly and helpful! You will see us again Willough H. #risingpharmacycosts #transparency #GCEGH
