Tackling PBM Audits Collaboratively

(CE)

Oct. 4
2:30-3:30 p.m.
Room 2502

With the average PBM audit costing pharmacies nearly $11,000 in 2021, you can’t afford not to train every member of your team on audit prevention. In this hands-on workshop, audit experts will guide you and your team through some of the most common audit targets you come across on a daily basis and how to avoid a flag on the play. Develop a game plan for calculating days’ supply for odd package sizes to managing biosimilar dispensing and everything in-between.
