概要
This one couldn’t wait.
In this episode of The EOB Podcast, Justin and Julie break down the proposed Department of Labor rule on PBM transparency — and the flood of industry responses submitted before the comment deadline.
With over 500+ submissions from carriers, PBMs, employers, and other stakeholders, the conversation reveals a clear divide:
👉 Those pushing for more transparency 👉 And those… pushing back hard
For the first time, the proposed rule would require PBMs to disclose all compensation — including rebates, spread pricing, administrative fees, and more — before a contract is signed.
So why the resistance?
Justin and Julie dig into real comment letters from major players in the industry, breaking down:
- Common arguments against the rule (and what they really mean)
- Why “this is too complex” keeps coming up
- What employers are being told vs. what they actually need
- How transparency impacts fiduciary responsibility
- And where this could go next
Along the way, they call out contradictions, questionable logic, and a few moments that are… unintentionally hilarious.
Because when it comes to healthcare benefits: understanding how money flows isn’t optional — it’s the whole game.
