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.

Bending the Cost Curve Before It Starts

Dr. Mark, Dr. Michael, and special guest Dr. Scott Conard discuss the employer playbook for preventing chronic disease progression and why employers must focus on employees who aren’t sick enough to get attention but are most at risk of becoming high-cost claimants. Using data, engagement, and prevention to improve health outcomes while reducing long-term costs.

The Missing Layer in Employer Healthcare

Healthcare benefits usage is inherently episodic. Employees don't think in benefits categories—they think about the problem they're trying to solve.

Nearly 50% of employers are evaluating point-solution consolidation, yet many may be solving for complexity rather than the root cause of low utilization. Why do employees continue to struggle to engage despite growing investments in benefits, navigation, and digital health solutions?

Traditional benefits platforms were built on the assumption that employees would proactively seek out information. In reality, employees look for help only when a need arises—and that's often when critical information is hardest to find.

Retaining and Recruiting Employees: How to Tackle Two Essential Benefits Challenges

Promoting Your Employee Benefits Value Proposition  (9:00am - Employer-Only Roundtable, 10:30am  -Panel Discussion)

Are you tasked with developing a benefits package that helps attract and retain high performing talent? 

With talent shortages in some industries and layoffs in others, communicating the value of your benefits is essential for making sure high-value employees are satisfied, motivated and eager to act as champions for your organization.

Join your fellow benefits leaders in a discussion about who’s doing what, what’s working, and how you might profit from some out-of-the-box communications thinking!   

Addressing Equity Gaps in Your Health Programs and Benefits Design (12:00pm - Employer Only Up and Comers Luncheon)

Benefits and rewards that support employee health and productivity don’t always have the same impact on different segments of your employee population. Addressing health inequities means understanding the unique needs and experiences of different groups, leveraging data to get intelligence, and reimagining the variety and design of benefits to mitigate bias. Here’s how to start that journey!
