GTMRx Learning Network Webinar | A $528 billion problem: How employers can avoid medication overuse, underuse and misuse
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!
