The Hidden Costs of Prescription Drugs

Discover how profit-driven pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) have quietly transformed from helpful intermediaries to some of the most powerful (and least transparent) players in healthcare. Side Effects May Include Include exposes the corruption, the conflicts, and the cost paid by employers and employees alike.

The film pulls back the curtain on a $600 billion industry where every refill, rebate, and “discount” carries consequences.

A dose of truth America has been missing.

From the outside, the prescription drug system looks efficient. Inside, it’s a labyrinth of hidden fees, inflated prices, and backroom deals.

Side Effects May Include traces how PBMs, which were originally designed to help employers manage costs, became middlemen profiting at every turn.

Featuring whistleblowers, former PBM executives, independent pharmacists, and fiduciary benefit experts, this documentary exposes why the cost of medicine has skyrocketed… and what employers can finally do about it.

"The PBM system isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as it was designed… to profit from confusion and keep employers in the dark."

Why We Produced

Chelsea Ryckis

Founder & President

 “Every year, employers spend millions on pharmacy costs they don’t understand, and can’t see. This film is about giving them visibility and control.”

Donovan Ryckis

Founder & CEO

 “The pharmacy ecosystem was supposed to serve people. Instead, it’s quietly draining the very plans meant to protect them. Employers deserve to know the truth.”

The story behind Side Effects May Include began with one question: Why are companies paying 500% more for the same prescriptions found overseas? This documentary reveals how PBMs manipulate prices, distort rebates, and exploit the lack of fiduciary oversight in American healthcare.

Through real case studies, audits, and expert commentary, it shows how employers can reclaim control… starting with one of the most overlooked parts of their health plan: pharmacy benefits.

“Every dollar hidden in the supply chain is a dollar taken from care.”
