As someone who has worked in Specialty pharmacy, this is a great overview of specialty pharmacy. The video succinctly goes over the challenges in the industry and influence of giant PBMs. Specialty is expected to double in the coming years as more and more therapies get added. It would be great to add why PBMs were interested in acquiring the specialty pharmacy.
This is a great overview. Specialty pharmacies are complex. Our team of CFOs has deep expertise in the pharmacy space and this has been very educational.
Hey Doc just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. They do help a lot to understand the intricacy of healthcare. I'm currently in a Pharm D program aspiring to become a pharmacist and open my own specialty pharmacy.
I am simply a Patient. I have Cigna as my Part D carrier. I had been getting my specialty scripts from CVS for 2 years. Cigna sent me a letter stating that I could not use CVS Specialty, any longer and that I would be responsible for the full cost of the drugs if I did not change my Specialty Pharmacy. Now I better understand why I got that letter.
Only a few acquire the combined MD/JD degree-extremely rare! It looks like there is a wide selection of committees and associations in which they can become lifelong members. It will take longer than one's lifetime to resolve these conflicts of interest. In the meantime, more patients become victims of a confusing health care system, which is impossible for the average person to comprehend.
Loved the topic very helpful. Doc, do you have any videos on TEFRA based hospitals and how they can be optimized or a video that explains the history of TEFRA and how to optimize the cost to charge ratio?
As someone who is working for one of the top 3 Specialty Pharmacies mentioned here, this video explains the overview in a great way. Thanks !
Thank you for your feedback.
