VIENNA, VA USA -- HEALTH POLICY UPDATE NEWS SERVICE™ -- MAY 25, 2021: We have a problem. When drugs are wrong, skipped or make you sick, 275,000 lives are lost. Add to that the $528 billion wasted.¹ Much of the economic burden is absorbed by self-insured employers through cost drivers like readmissions, additional ER visits or more mediations needed to fix the problems. This is unacceptable.

Join us for a webinar to hear from two leading experts on ways to implement a buy-right strategy when working with medical carriers, PBMs, etc., and in structuring benefit plan design on the medical and pharmacy side as you pursue value-based care. A GTMRx toolkit--designed for employers--will be sent to you when you register for the event.

After attending this webinar, you will:

• Understand why the current system of trial-and-error medication use must change in order to eliminate the waste of health plan assets.
• Understand how comprehensive medication management (CMM) is being used today to effectively transform and optimize medication use while achieving measurable, positive treatment outcomes that save lives and money.
• Grasp the value equation for employer advocacy for a new medication use process through CMM in practice.
• Recognize why employers should be key leaders of change.
• Learn what you can do to take action now!
