At National Comp 2025, Risk & Insurance editor-in-chief Dan Reynolds sat down with Paul King, president of myMatrixx, to discuss the rapidly evolving pharmacy benefit management landscape.

King highlighted major forces reshaping workers’ compensation pharmacy needs, from the shift away from acute pain management toward chronic care to the accelerating influence of AI and quantum computing on drug development. He also emphasized growing regulatory and client-driven demands for greater transparency in PBM pricing and contracting models.

As new presumptive laws expand coverage for chronic conditions and increasingly complex medications enter the market, the role of clinical oversight becomes even more essential.
