Rachel Strauss, "PBM Princess," to Speak at Self Fund Summit

The Self Fund Summit, the Midwest's premier gathering for healthcare disruptors and forward-thinking benefit leaders, has announced that Rachel Strauss, Founder and CEO of PBM Princess, LLC, will be a featured speaker at this year's event held August 13-14, 2025 at the 3rd Street Market in Milwaukee.

Strauss will take the stage on August 13 at 11:00 a.m. with a highly anticipated session:"Navigating the GLP-1 Tsunami and Other PBM Issues: Cost Control in a Blockbuster Drug Era."

Known for her unfiltered insights, industry expertise, and flair for breaking down pharmacy benefit complexity into digestible truths, Strauss will dive deep into the rise of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy-an issue impacting nearly every employer health plan in 2025.

"We chose Rachel because she doesn't just 'talk PBM'-she translates it into action," said Jonathan Baran, CEO of Self Fund Health. "Her message is raw, real, and exactly what employers and brokers need to hear right now. She brings the receipts-and the sass-and we love that about her."

As one of the only national voices demystifying the opaque world of pharmacy benefits for employers, Strauss will explore:

*
Why GLP-1s are more than a fad-and how they're redefining plan strategy

*
What most PBMs aren't telling clients (and what to ask instead)

*
Practical, proactive cost-control tactics in a high-stakes drug market

*
How to survive and thrive in the era of blockbuster spend

The Self Fund Summit expects over 200 attendees, including brokers, employers, providers, and benefit leaders committed to challenging the traditional health insurance model.

Strauss joins a powerhouse lineup of speakers including Madeline Smith (MADDRS), Nikhil Krishnan (Out-Of-Pocket), and Preston Alexander (Forward Slash / Health), all sharing strategies to rebuild healthcare from the ground up.
