Shownotes

Join the PBM OTR Cocktail Crew as they dive deep into the harsh realities facing independent pharmacies as we close out 2025. From the necessity of "side hustles" just to keep the lights on, to the dark side of AI in prior authorizations, the landscape is shifting rapidly. They’ll also unpack the upcoming reintroduction of the Pharmacists Fight Back Act in the 119th Congress, and take a look behind the curtain at prescription discount cards and how they actually work. If you're frustrated by rising insurance premiums, opaque pharmacy contracts, or the closure of your local drugstore, this episode is for you.

Special Guests: John Farina, AHF & Matt Ansay, Streu’s Pharmacy
