About This Webinar

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), prescription drug spending in the U.S. reached $603 billion in 2021. With drug spending continuing to be on the rise, members struggle affording much needed medications, and health insurance providers struggle to bend the cost curve associated with rising drug costs.

  • How integrated delivery networks can utilize real-time benefit tools on both the provider and member side
  • How real-time benefit tools foster better outcomes for all stakeholders
