Jennifer Ungru, a director in the Government Relations Practice Group in the Tallahassee office, authored the article "The Next Phase of Vertical Integration: Wholesalers Follow the PBM Playbook," published by Pharmacy Times on February 2, 2026. In the article, Jennifer outlines how pharmaceutical wholesalers are mirroring pharmacy benefit managers' vertical integrations by moving into physician practice management and specialty drug administration. She explains how this shift raises concerns about transparency, competition, and potential influence over drug utilization and site-of-care decisions as wholesale companies seek higher-margin services.
