022 A Unicorn in our Midst! - Tyrone Squires

A transparent PBM?! We connected with Tyrone Squires, Founder and Manager of TransparentRx. We had not heard about this, as so many community pharmacies are challenged by the strains PBMs put on their business operations, through low drug reimbursements and practically nonexistent dispensing fees. So, we HAD to talk to Tyrone about his perspective and larger quest to provide transparency in the PBM game. He shared what he believes is a more ethical approach to improving the service a PBM can provide to their clients and its impact on pharmacists and patients. https://transparentrx.com [https://transparentrx.com] https://tyronesquires.com [https://tyronesquires.com]
