Episode notes

We interview pharmacist "Howie the Hat" Jacobson on that big book you get about your pharmacy insurance benefits which you probably don't read (Howie doesn't either) and what you can do with it. Then, we learn more about why pharmacy benefit managers aren't celebrating this spring in New York -- and why pharmacists are. Join Geoff Redick and Howie Jacobson as they navigate these pressing issues, offering insights and perspectives on the evolving landscape of pharmacy care.
