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 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.
