About
For many employers, the cost of specialty medications represents 50% of their total drug spend, and over the next two years, nearly two-thirds of new drug launches are expected to be specialty therapies. This dynamic creates a daunting challenge to plan sponsors who are looking to provide the best, potentially life-changing medicines to their employees and also manage the cost of their pharmacy benefits. To that end, it's imperative that plan sponsors have strategies in place to control specialty costs while ensuring their members have access to the right prescriptions. During this interactive virtual session, Truveris experts will uncover the market dynamics that are contributing to the continual rise of specialty costs - and most importantly, what plan sponsors can do about it.
