Moneyball Benefits Podcast: Playing Defense Against Rising Pharma Costs

If you're like most employers, you're constantly making decisions about the best way to allocate scarce resources.

OneDigital is here to help this decision-making process with the Moneyball Benefits podcast, where Director of Compliance and Innovation Scott Wham takes inspiration from the "Moneyball" philosophy that revolutionized professional sports in the 2000s and applies it to the world of employer-sponsored benefit offerings.

In episode three, Scott is joined by Richard Lo, from OneDigital's Pharmacy Consulting team. Together, Scott and Richard discuss common sources of pharmacy plan waste, the misaligned incentives that are pushing prescriptions drug prices to ever greater heights, and strategies that informed employers can use to contain their pharmacy costs.
