CVS Breaks Apart, PBM Reform Moves Forward & the Future of Pharmacy Care | TWIRx
November 6, 2026 | Pharmacy Podcast Network Sponsored by Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) and U.S. News & World Report This week on This Week in Pharmacy, Todd Eury welcomes an outstanding lineup of pharmacy leaders, healthcare advocates, and industry experts to discuss four major developments shaping the future of pharmacy: CVS Health's historic restructuring, federal PBM reform, GLP-1 patient outcomes, and innovation in specialty medication access. Segment 1: CVS Health's Historic Separation — What Happens to 9,000 Pharmacies? CVS Health has announced plans to separate its retail pharmacy business from its PBM, insurance, and specialty pharmacy operations. What does this mean for community pharmacy profitability, patient access, and the future of vertically integrated healthcare? Guests: Greg Reybold — APCI Chichi Ilonzo Momah, PharmD, RPh — Owner, Springfield Pharmacy Alec Ginsberg — Chief Operating Officer, C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries https://drugstorecowboy.com/ The big question: If CVS is separating its pharmacies from Caremark, what does that signal about the future business model of community pharmacy? Segment 2: PBM Reform Becomes Federal Law — What's Next? Major PBM reforms were enacted through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, signed February 3, 2026, introducing new requirements for transparency, PBM compensation, and pharmacy access. Congressman Buddy Carter joins IPC's John Covello to examine the legislative victory, the work ahead to implement these reforms, and the fight to protect independent pharmacies. Guests: U.S. Representative Buddy Carter (R-GA) John Covello — Vice President of Government Relations, Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) The big question: Will federal PBM reform finally deliver meaningful financial relief and fairer competition for community pharmacies? Segment 3: GLP-1 Success — Beyond the Prescription A new U.S. News & World Report survey explores how patients select GLP-1 telehealth providers and why behavioral support, affordability, and ongoing engagement matter to long-term weight-management success. Guests: Gretel Schueller — Managing Editor, Health, U.S. News & World Report Kelli Stovall, RPh, MBA — Vice President of Clinical Strategy, Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) The big question: How can independent community pharmacists help patients achieve better outcomes beyond dispensing GLP-1 medications? Read the U.S. News GLP-1 survey Segment 4: Breaking Down Barriers to Specialty Medications — Sonexus™ Special Guest: Josh Marsh, Vice President & General Manager, Sonexus™ Access and Patient Support, Cardinal Health Josh Marsh joins Todd to discuss how Cardinal Health's Sonexus™ helps patients overcome barriers to specialty medications. The conversation explores pharmaceutical Hub Services, benefits verification, prior authorization assistance, financial support, and the growing role of AI and automation in accelerating treatment access. The big question: How can technology and personalized patient support work together to make specialty medications more accessible?

Follow the Money, Expose the System, Demand Accountability | PBM Reform with APCI
In this special edition of the PBM Reform Podcast, host Greg Reybold welcomes nationally recognized drug pricing expert Antonio Ciaccia for an unfiltered conversation about pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), hidden financial incentives, and the growing movement toward meaningful reform. Ciaccia has spent years investigating the economics of prescription drug distribution, helping uncover hundreds of millions of dollars in questionable Medicaid drug spending and exposing the financial mechanisms behind inflated drug prices. His latest work with 3 Axis Advisors raises important questions about whether conventional PBM contracts deliver the savings they promise. An October 2026 analysis compares Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company's published prices with traditional PBM pricing arrangements. Another June 2026 report examines how retrospective rebates, pricing benchmarks, and administrative arrangements create financial risks for employers and health plans. Ciaccia has also described three forces capable of driving PBM reform: legislation, litigation, and market-based competition. As he told Drug Topics, borrowing a familiar expression from Greg Reybold: “Pressure busts pipes.” In This Episode Why PBM pricing transparency remains essential for employers, patients, and pharmacies. What recent drug pricing research reveals about hidden costs and contractual complexity. How cost-plus pharmacy models challenge traditional PBM economics. Why independent pharmacies continue facing reimbursement and cash-flow pressures. Whether federal reform and marketplace competition can produce lasting accountability. How pharmacists, employers, and policymakers can demand measurable results. The future of pharmacy benefits depends on more than promises of reform. It demands transparency, accountability, and evidence that savings actually reach the people paying for healthcare. Join Greg Reybold and Antonio Ciaccia as they follow the money and examine what's next for PBM reform.

3D Printing in Compounding: One Pharmacy's Journey and a Discussion for the Industry | CurifyLabs Podcast Series
In Part One of the CurifyLabs Podcast Series, “Trust, Technology & the Future of Compounding,” Pharmacy Podcast Network host Todd Eury is joined by Tenille Davis, PharmD, Chief Advocacy Officer for the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding (APC), and T.W. Taylor, PharmD, Owner of Williamsburg Drug Co. for a timely conversation about responsible innovation, compliance, and the evolving future of personalized medicine. Together, they explore the state of the compounding industry, opportunities for independent compounding pharmacies, and how pharmacists should evaluate emerging technologies as automation becomes increasingly integrated into pharmacy workflows. The discussion also examines what truly determines compounded dose quality, including the roles of validation, documentation, repeatability, traceability, formulation homogeneity, dispensing accuracy, and pharmacist oversight. Todd and Tenille separate meaningful evidence from marketing claims through “Fact Check: Compounding Edition,” addressing misconceptions such as whether mass uniformity equals content uniformity and whether greater automation automatically means greater quality. The episode sets the foundation for the CurifyLabs series with a central message: the future of compounding depends on bringing technology, evidence, compliance, and pharmacist expertise together to advance personalized patient care responsibly.

What Happens When It All Connects | ONE Journey Ending Fragmentation in Specialty Care with CassianRx
Lumicera runs ONE Journey end to end for specialty pharmacy services — patient engagement, the physician portal, and the patient CRM all operating as a single connected system rather than as separate tools bolted together. That makes Lumicera the only guest who can close the argument. The first two episodes each show one layer connected, and each ends by pointing at what remains disconnected. Your episode is where the pieces come together: what changes when the patient, the prescriber, the pharmacy workflow, and the data layer are no longer separated by handoffs. Pairing Lumicera's pharmacy leadership with Navitus also brings the payer and PBM lens — including the transparency and incentive dynamics that determine whether a connected journey is even economically possible.

Rewiring Your Nervous System One Breath at a Time with Kathy Ha | The Holistic Pharmacy Podcast
My guest today is a dear friend of mine whom I met in Marie Forleo’s dream club. I have personally experienced a breath work and cold plunge session facilitated by her and her husband/business partner, and it was absolutely phenomenal! I felt reborn and ready for anything after emerging from that process. The husband/wife duo believe resilience isn't about pushing through stress, but about learning to regulate your nervous system so you can meet challenges with clarity instead of reactivity. Tune in to this episode to learn (and get a demo of) practical tools you can use in real time, at work, at home, under pressure, to feel more grounded, present, and fully yourself. Kathy and Michael are the wife-and-husband team behind Terranuma, where they help individuals and organizations build resilience, regulate their nervous systems, and perform at their best under pressure. Their work blends evidence-based breathwork, nervous system training, and mindset practices to support mental clarity, emotional steadiness, and sustainable performance, and they've brought these experiences to executive leadership groups, Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO), Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), first responders, and educators navigating high-stress environments. Michael specializes in breathwork and stress resilience, trained directly under Wim Hof in the Wim Hof Method, as well as in Oxygen Advantage (Patrick McKeown) and XPT Performance Breathing (Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece). Kathy brings over a decade of experience in high-demand environments, including 14 years as a New York City public school teacher, and is trained in reiki and somatic practices, known for creating grounded, psychologically safe spaces where real transformation can happen. Together, Kathy and Michael create powerful, science-backed experiences that blend presence and human connection, helping people reconnect to themselves so they can lead, perform, and live with more resilience and ease.

PBMs Under Fire, the World Pharmacist Challenge & CRUSH COST | TWIRx
October 30, 2026 | Pharmacy Podcast Network Sponsored by CurifyLabs and Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) Pharmacy benefit managers are facing new scrutiny, controversial peptides are making headlines, and two pharmacy leaders are joining Todd Eury for a special edition of This Week in Pharmacy. This week's episode features the finale of the 31 Day Challenge, an exciting announcement about the upcoming WORLD PHARMACIST CHALLENGE, and an exclusive in-studio interview with the 2025 Pharmacy 50 winner, Dr. Grant Harting, PharmD, founder of CRUSH COST. TWIRx News: The Vox Top 3 1. PBMs Forced to Open Their Books — and They're Fighting Back The Department of Labor has finalized new PBM transparency requirements covering fees, rebates, spread-pricing revenue, and compensation arrangements involving employer health plans. The Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA) argues that the regulation creates unnecessary burdens, threatens smaller PBMs, and could increase costs. The big question: If PBMs are already transparent, why is additional financial disclosure such a problem? Read PCMA's response 2. HHS Opens the Door to Six Controversial Peptides HHS has announced an interim enforcement-discretion policy involving six peptides: BPC-157, Epitalon, KPV, MOTS-c, Semax, and TB-500. The policy could create a pathway for qualifying 503A compounding pharmacies under specific conditions, even as significant questions remain about the safety and efficacy of these non-FDA-approved substances. The big question: Is this progress for personalized medicine or a dangerous leap ahead of clinical evidence? Read the HHS Federal Register notice 3. Congress Investigates Alleged PBM Retaliation Against Independent Pharmacies House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is investigating whether CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and Optum Rx targeted independent pharmacies with burdensome audits after those pharmacies publicly supported PBM reform. One allegation involves a medication costing just 99 cents that reportedly generated hundreds of hours of pharmacy staff work. The investigation is ongoing, and retaliation has not been established. The big question: Are PBM audits protecting the system, or could they be used to intimidate pharmacies advocating for reform? Read the congressional announcement Special Guest: Dr. Jesse McCullough, PharmD The 31 Day Challenge Finale & WORLD PHARMACIST CHALLENGE Announcement Leadership starts with action! Dr. Jesse McCullough, PharmD, CEO of Keystone Pharmacy Insights, returns to TWIRx for the final special feature of the 31 Day Challenge, reflecting on leadership, personal growth, accountability, and the importance of pharmacists stepping beyond their comfort zones.

Independent Pharmacy: Power, Policy & Patient Care | TWIRx
October 23, 2026 Sponsored by Independent Pharmacy Cooperative and YARAL Pharma This week on TWIRx: peptide compounding policy, a new hepatitis B treatment, specialty pharmacy growth, a rare-disease breakthrough, and pharmacy workforce pressure — followed by three conversations focused on the future of independent pharmacy. TWIRx NEWS 1. FDA Moves Peptide Policy to White House Review The FDA has submitted an Interim Access Policy for Compounding Using Certain Peptides for White House review. No final policy has been announced. Why it matters: A temporary pathway could move some patients away from gray-market peptide sellers and toward licensed pharmacies, while raising ongoing questions about safety and evidence. TWIRx angle: Is regulated compounding safer than leaving patients to buy peptides online? 2. FDA Approves GSK’s Hibsago for Chronic Hepatitis B FDA approved Hibsago, bepirovirsen, for certain adults with chronic hepatitis B. In Phase III studies, about 19% of eligible treated patients achieved functional cure after therapy stopped. Why it matters: This could move hepatitis B treatment beyond long-term viral suppression toward sustained disease control for some patients. 3. Carelon Specialty Pharmacy Helps Drive Growth Elevance Health reported $19.3 billion in quarterly Carelon revenue and about $900 million in operating gain, citing CarelonRx growth and improved specialty-pharmacy profitability. Why it matters: Specialty pharmacy continues to become a major earnings and strategic growth engine inside vertically integrated healthcare organizations. 4. Positive Phase III Results for Bitopertin Disc Medicine reported positive Phase III results for bitopertin in rare disorders where exposure to light can cause severe pain. Patients experienced improved light tolerance and fewer phototoxic reactions. Why it matters: This could meaningfully improve daily life for patients whose disease forces them to avoid sunlight. 5. Pharmacy Technicians Describe Growing Pressure A widely discussed Reddit thread featured pharmacy technicians describing prescription backlogs, nonstop phones, frustrated patients, and inadequate staffing. Important disclaimer: These are anonymous accounts and cannot be independently verified. TWIRx angle: Are pharmacy teams being asked to do more without enough staffing and infrastructure? FEATURED CONVERSATIONS Mark Kinney — IPC IPC is expanding its Government Relations team as independent pharmacies face major federal and state issues involving PBM reform, reimbursement, rural access, and patient choice. Discussion focus: Why IPC is investing more heavily in advocacy and what pharmacy owners should expect heading into 2027. Shelley Bailey — IPC Rural Health and Independent Pharmacy Independent pharmacies often serve as critical healthcare access points in rural communities. Discussion focus: Pharmacy closures and rural access Chronic disease management Pharmacist clinical services Reimbursement and provider opportunities Why rural pharmacies should be treated as healthcare infrastructure Kelli Stovall, IPC + Brandon Haag, Tenovi Remote Monitoring Beyond the Pharmacy Counter IPC and Tenovi are partnering to give independent pharmacies access to RPM and RTM technology, including blood pressure monitors, scales, smart pillboxes, and inhaler sensors. The goal is to support: Medication adherence Hypertension and chronic disease management Weight management Respiratory care Cash-pay and reimbursable clinical services Big question: Can remote monitoring help independent pharmacies improve patient care while creating sustainable new revenue? Closing Independent pharmacy’s future increasingly depends on three things: A stronger voice. A broader clinical role. Sustainable new economic models that keep care local.
