BERWYN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AscellaHealth, a national specialty pharmacy benefit manager (SPBM™) serving commercial, Medicare and Medicaid segments, is collaborating with Leaf Health, a national consulting firm dedicated to supporting the mid-market with prescription drug program strategies, to present the 2020 Webinar Series “From Evolution to Revolution: How the Rise of Specialty Pharmacy Drove a New PBM Model.” Designed to engage and inform TPAs, brokers, employers and employer coalitions, benefit managers and IDN/hospital systems, this webinar series features highly recognized specialty pharmacy opinion leaders, including chief medical officers, large TPA executives, employer coalitions and key health market experts in pharmacy benefits, and is expected to generate dialogue and deliver continued added value for partners and clients.
“While much has been published and presented about specialty pharmacy models, few of these discussions consider and articulate the role of specialty pharmacy benefit managers and advisors,” says Dea Belazi, president and CEO, AscellaHealth. “We intend to fill this void, and our partnership with Leaf Health will proactively identify and disseminate additional data and insights on key issues that are critical to specialty pharmacy stakeholders.”
Below is information about each episode of the webinar series, which features multiple presentations by industry thought leaders and influencers.
