As a pharmacy owner, it often feels like you’re fighting battles against systems designed to work against you.

Few battles loom larger than the fight against Pharmacy Benefit Managers whose opaque practices have chipped away at margins, patient trust, and sustainability for independents.

In this episode, we have two very special guests on the front lines of PBM reform: Dared Price, President of OreadRx and Price Pharmacies and Mark Cuban, legendary entrepreneur and co-founder of Cost Plus Drugs.

Scotty Sykes, CPA, CFP®, Bonnie Bond, CPA, MBA, and Austin Murray sit down with Mark Cuban and Dared Price to explore how transparent models are reshaping the future of drug pricing and pharmacy benefit management.

We cover:

• The real impact of spread pricing, rebates, and hidden contracts on pharmacy owners
• How Cost Plus Drugs is cutting out middlemen to bring transparency to patients and pharmacies
• Why OreadRx’s transparent PBM model could change the game for independents
• What a fair reimbursement ecosystem might look like and how owners can prepare
