Independent PBM Drives Rx Performance
Partnering with an independent pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) is an essential building block of a high-performing health plan. Over the past decade, the changes to how prescription drugs are purchased and managed have marked a significant step forward in giving employers greater ability to impact their healthcare spend.
In this case study we see the transition from a big three PBM to an independent PBM produce immediate and dramatic improvement to financial spend on prescription drugs. When the PBM is fee-based and focused on purchasing each drug for the lowest net cost – no matter the channel – better performance follows.
