Drug costs are soaring and driving more of medical spend than ever before. The good news is that there are tools coming to market to help consumers and plans alike.

That is what our guest, Gary Becker, CEO of ScriptSourcing, and I discuss on this episode. We begin with an exploration of why prescription drugs are so much more expensive in the United States than they are in other countries. We discuss the particular drugs that are driving the pharma cost component to all-time highs.

Gary explains the three strategies being employed by many plans and discusses how advisors can have this conversation with their clients. We conclude our conversation with Gary's view that advisors must start charging for their services on a quantifiable, performance-based structure.
