Mostafa Kamal talks evolution of PBM industry, latest developments, in Fierce Healthcare panel

Experts explored the issues, changes and challenges impacting the role and influence of PBMs, delving into hot topics such as GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, biosimilars, rising pharmaceutical costs and the future of the PBM industry.

“With the proliferation of technology—artificial intelligence and other tools that we see emerging around us—I think it’s a unique moment in time for us to be able to look at the macro trends, identify significant needs and bring in technology to help us solve and move forward in ways that go beyond what we’ve done historically,” Kamal says, “which is managing unit costs and managing utilization, and move PBMs more toward managing total experiences and affordability and outcomes for patients—total health outcomes.”
