The New Era of PBM Transparency: Recent Legislative Updates
The pharmacy benefits world has entered a new era.
Between the enactment of the 2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) and emerging federal rules on PBM disclosures, the level of transparency and fiduciary responsibility expected of plan sponsors is poised to increase dramatically. These are regulatory developments that will reshape PBM contracts, reporting standards, and plan oversight in the years ahead.
If you’re a benefits leader, HR executive, or fiduciary responsible for health plans (plan sponsor), you cannot afford to be behind on what transparency means, why it matters, and when it’s coming.
What You’ll Learn
In this live webinar, Jennifer Berman, Chief Legal Officer at Lumelight, will break down the biggest changes shaping PBM transparency and give you a practical roadmap for compliance and oversight.
Jennifer will cover:
✅ An overview of recent legislative changes including CAA 2026 PBM reforms and their scope.
✅ What plan sponsors need to think about now (and when the provisions apply).
✅ A clear implementation timeline. What’s coming in 2026, 2028, and beyond.
