Where else are you going to get PBM lore? After 3 bite-sized episodes with John C. Tackman, Director of Strategic Partnerships at MedOne, we’ve reached the big conclusion of our PBM mini-series!
In Part 1, we broke down what a Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) actually is.
In Part 2, we dove into the fascinating world of formularies.
Now, in Part 3, we tackle the ALL-IMPORTANT conversation on rebates—what they are, how they work, and the impact they have on employers, employees, and the entire benefits ecosystem.
With 15+ years in the pharmacy space, John brings a wealth of knowledge—and we cover:
- The truth about rebates & transparency

- What employers don’t know they don’t know
- The future of pharmacy benefits
If you’ve ever felt PBMs were opaque or confusing, this series will clear it up—and give you the tools to ask the right questions.
