During our recent deep-dive into the #RFP process on #AstonishingHealthcare, Nic Bolitho (Manager, RFP Content) discussed something #employers are particularly focused on: the member experience. As he explained, all plan sponsors want to make sure their members will be able to get the assistance they need (including not having to endlessly battle a robot to reach a representative). And that's where established processes, data, and proven success come into play. Listen to the full episode here: https://okt.to/iU1aJA

What a month it's been for our team! 🎉 In addition to announcing our rebrand to Judi Health and sharing our $400M Series F funding round, we also joined the Charlotte Hornets at NYSE to kick-off our partnership together. 🏀 Not only that, we had the honor to discuss PBM reform with Congressman Jake Auchincloss on the #AstonishingHealthcare podcast (in addition to our other episodes featuring Kristen Morgan, Tracey Rollins, CPM, Bridget Mulvenna, Josh Golden, and Nic Bolitho) and shared some of our recent content - including a byline Josh wrote about automated prescription refill programs. Dive into all this news and more below.

Plan sponsors are looking for the best way to deliver quality care to their members while controlling or cutting plan costs and streamlining processes. By leveraging modern enterprise health technology like Judi®, it’s possible to transform pharmacy benefit management programs and, more broadly, health benefit administration. In our webinar, Jillian Lonson, PMP® (VP, Benefit Administration & Operations), and Jeff Brockner (Senior Manager, Product) showcased Judi’s capabilities and features, including how plan sponsors can leverage it to simplify day-to-day plan management, boost operational efficiencies, unlock deeper insights, and deliver better, more personalized care for their member population.

How can employer plan sponsors hope to understand the complicated world of pharmacy benefits management (PBM) and optimize their programs? It’s easier said than done. It starts with an understanding of what the role of a PBM should be and how traditional PBMs have long operated in the shadows, creating inefficiencies that drive up costs and obscure true value. Learn the differences in working with a “transparent PBM” whose sole interest is integrating a benefit that works with your broader healthcare strategy.

At the end of every #AstonishingHealthcare episode, we ask our guest(s) for a story - the most astonishing or interesting thing they've witnessed in the industry that's relevant to the discussion - with compliance top of mind, of course! When we chatted with Bridget Mulvenna, she returned to a theme throughout the conversation: the allure of #rebate money; she said, "I'm still surprised when folks pick the offer that has the highest rebate, especially if they have done any procurements in the past." 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: https://okt.to/0yMIoq
