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.

All Roads Lead to Benefits: Where Work, Life, Culture and Health Intersect

Employees now expect a work environment in which employers not only support health, but also who people are holistically – their life choices, their culture and the causes they believe in.

Where are benefits heading and how do employers juggle the expectations of employees with constraints like cost, resources and C-level priorities?

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!
