Reigning In Out of Control Drug Costs | PBM Reform Podcast

Our special guest Wendy Barnes, CEO of RxBenefits and Mark Campbell, the VP of RxBenefits. From BenefitsPro:https://www.benefitspro.com/2023/03/27/how-dispelling-mistrust-of-generics-will-help-patients-and-plan-sponsors/?slreturn=20240222125659 Health care spending in the United States has increased substantially the past few years, and it isn't likely to slow down any time soon. At this rate, national health care costs could reach $6.2 trillion by 2028. A number of factors, including the cost of medical supplies and drugs, contribute to those rising numbers. The financial pinch many people were already feeling has been intensified by the unsteady economy, leading consumers to call for lowered health plan costs whenever and wherever possible. Some believe reducing prescription drug spending is an easy way to do that. But consumers still deserve access to the medications they need at prices they can afford. 
Generic medications: A solution to potential challenges
Using generic medications in place of high-priced, brand-name drugs offers the same clinical benefits, and it can save patients and health plan providers significant money in the long run. It's a convenient, simple way to reduce costs while making sure patients have continued access to the treatments and medicines they've been prescribed. But while generics are an obvious answer to many challenges facing the industry, they aren't embraced nearly as often as they should be. According to U.S. Pharmacist, "While generic drugs are extensively prescribed … t some consumers are still hesitant about using generic drugs and believe that they are not as safe or effective as brand-name drugs."
Consumers have a variety of reasons for their misgivings, but the skepticism is unwarranted. Many health plan administrators and pharmacy benefit optimizers are working to dispel the myths that can rob consumers of significant savings.

Hey everyone! I’m recording this intro after a brief but admittedly scary stint of time stuck indoors yet again, being warned to stay home due to the quality of air pollution from the recent Canadian wildfire.Meanwhile, I’m super excited to introduce my next guest, who highlights how we can become stewards of the land as herbalists, and showcases how she grew her brand from scratch to a full-blown success story. Lauren Haynes is the founder and CEO of Wooden Spoon Herbs, a small-batch herbal apothecary brand that offers herbal tinctures, teas and tonics that act as a conduit for plant medicine.  Founded in 2014, Lauren has grown Wooden Spoon Herbs into a go-to resource for farm-fresh herbal remedies.  Lauren studied at the Appalachian Center for Natural Health under fifth-generation herbalist Phyllis D. Light. Driven by her desire to introduce more people to herbalism, Lauren started Wooden Spoon Herbs in the farmer's market, crafting products based on the most common concerns she saw. The brand, which has celeb fans like Jessica Alba and Alanis Morrisette, supports a farm-direct supply chain and sources only organic ingredients. Their popular Rose-Colored Glasses tincture has sold out 5 times and is also sold on Goop. Lauren now has over ten years of experience as a clinical herbalist. Through her herbalist education and practice, Lauren merges functional formations with lifestyle products that appeal to wellness enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
