Gustafson Gluek Attorney Co-Authors Healthcare Article

Gustafson Gluek attorney Joe Bourne co-authored "Healthcare's Invisible Giants: Pharmacy Benefit Managers" article for the May 2013 edition of The Federal Lawyer magazine. Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) are semi-hidden middlemen in the prescription drug industry whose practices are opaque and reach nearly every aspect of the industry.  They comprehensively manage prescription drug benefits, and they exercise significant control over drug availability and pricing.  Health law practitioners need to understand PBMs’ role in order to advise their clients.
