PUTTcast | Pharmacists United for Truth and Transparency
The Pharmacy Podcast Network & Pharmacists United for Truth and Transparency have teamed up to deliver to the healthcare industry, the PUTTCast. Pharmacists United for Truth and Transparency (PUTT) is a non-profit advocacy organization founded by independent pharmacists and pharmacy owners devoted to exposing the truth about the anti-competitive tactics of pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs). Known to most Americans as their ”prescription drug benefit plan” provider, PBMs are in reality a $300 billion industry - giant corporate middlemen driving up the cost of medications with huge mark ups and commissions on every prescription covered under their ”benefits plan.”
