Pharmacy Benefits 2026

The pharmacy landscape has changed. CAA 2026, the FTC/Express Scripts settlement, and a wave of employer-driven audits and RFPs have shifted what's possible — and what's expected. This is a working session for senior benefits leaders who are ready to act.

What you'll walk away with:

  • A clear read on what CAA 2026 and the FTC settlement actually require — and where they create new employer leverage
  • A practical framework for auditing your PBM and recovering what you're owed
  • Tools for claiming independent data access and building vendor accountability into contracts
  • A blueprint for running a transparency-driven RFP — and the employer case studies to back it up
  • An honest peer conversation about GLP-1 coverage decisions, direct-to-employer models, and what the next high-cost drug class means for your strategy

The employers in this room are wrestling with the same questions you are — and being in the room together is how the answers start to take shape. That's worth a day in New Jersey.

The Hidden Cost of Sepsis

Sepsis costs the US healthcare system more than $20 billion a year.  This shows up for employers in hospitalization costs, high rates of readmission, work absences and disability claims.  Learn about the causes of sepsis, early signs and symptoms, and clinical strategies to reduce readmissions and improve care management in order to support employees facing this life-threatening condition.
