SUMMARY:BRI Virtual Event Series with Antonio Ciaccia - "The role of PBMs in healthcare today"
DESCRIPTION:Antonio Ciaccia of 46brooklyn Research joins Benjamin Rush Institute to talk about the role PBMs have\, and should have\, in today’s healthcare on Thursday\, January 6\, 2022\, at 12pm ET. Space is limited – Register NOW. \nBorn and raised in pharmacy\, Antonio has been crawling around pharmacies his entire life. After three years as a pharmacy technician and two years of pre-pharmacy curriculum\, Antonio diverted course\, graduating from The Ohio State University in 2007 with dual degrees in communications and political science before moving into the world of association management. \nThinking that pharmacy would be in his rear-view mirror forever\, he ended up making his way back to his pharmacy home\, heading up government affairs for the Ohio Pharmacists Association\, a trade organization with a strong track record of advocating for drug pricing transparency. After years of studying the pharmacy marketplace\, Antonio became increasingly perplexed and concerned as he saw drug costs spiking while payouts to pharmacies were declining. \nKnowing something was being lost somewhere in the middle of an ever-growing transaction\, Antonio has spent years working to crack the drug pricing code and pull the rug out from what he believes is one of the most dysfunctional marketplaces in the world. \nRegister NOW.
