This volume analyzes group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and
pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in order to better understand the
significant roles that these entities play in the healthcare supply
chain. It examines who they contract with, on what terms, and who
they represent and answer to while charting their historical
development. The analysis reveals that the current roles of both
players have historical roots that explain why they behave the way
they do. Finally, the book reviews the evidence base on the
performance results of these two players. This work fills a void in
our understanding about two important and controversial players in
the healthcare value chain. Both organizations are cloaked in
secrecy - partly by virtue of the private sector contracts they
negotiate, partly by virtue of the lack of academic attention. Both
play potentially important roles in controlling healthcare costs,
albeit using contracting strategies and reimbursement mechanisms
that arouse suspicion among stakeholders. This timely text
explicates how these organizations arose and evolved to shed more
light on how they really operate.
