Dr. Hammerstedt is joined today by Dr. Marion Mass to discuss What You Need to Know About Healthcare Middlemen. She talks in depth about Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) and all the kick back money that they receive. She gives an eye-opening deep dive into all the money that is being lost in the middle of our healthcare system.
