Description

Specialty pharmacy is navigating a period of rapid change. Rising drug costs, supply chain challenges, evolving public policies, and growing demand for therapies like GLP-1s are creating new complexities for stakeholders across the healthcare system.

This is your opportunity to hear directly from the First Report Managed Care Editorial Advisory Board—recognized experts who are on the front lines of these changes. In this open and balanced discussion, they will share their perspectives on how today’s disruptions are shaping access to care, treatment affordability, and patient outcomes.

Designed for payers, PBMs, health plans, and clinicians, this webinar will provide real-time insights—not prescriptive solutions—into the forces reshaping specialty pharmacy today.
 
Key Takeaways:

  • How economic and regulatory shifts are affecting specialty drug access
  • What GLP-1 demand reveals about delivery, supply, and scalability
  • The ongoing challenge of balancing cost, value, and patient outcomes
