## Resource

Prescribing medication has become unfathomably complex these days, with rules interposed between the patient and physician by pharmacies, payers, and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). Drew Hunsinger, Executive VP, Corporate Strategy at DrFirst, points out that a single medication may have multiple indications (conditions for which it can be prescribed) and rules vary by indication. Colin Banas, MD, Chief Medical Officer, says that 90% of new medications are considered specialty medications with associated complex rules.
