April 1, 2023 by Joe Sparks

Episode 95: Pharmacy Benefit Managers and Automatic Denials is now available on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and Tune In.

In this episode, my guest Julie Baak discusses Pharmacy Benefit Managers or PBMs and automatic denials, and how PBMs and automatic denials harm patients.

She has testified to the Missouri Senate Insurance Committee on patient access to care. Julie has received a ‘Change Maker’ award from the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), has served as the chair of the Payer Committee at the National Organization of Rheumatology Management (NORM) and currently serves on the Coalition State Rheumatology Organization (CSRO) Payer Response Team.
