Curb Your Pharmacy Costs

With pharmacy costs accounting for nearly half of total employer health care spend, it’s more important than ever to proactively manage pharmacy costs by taking greater control of PBM contract terms. Our assessments are the most effective way to determine if a current PBM contract has shortcomings or if a PBM is failing to meet its responsibility to provide the highest quality pharmacy benefits at the lowest cost.

The no-risk, no-obligation review includes:

• Review of your current PBM contract and your most recent 12-months of claims data
• A promise of no disruption to your current PBM relationship or plan members
• Transparent and unbiased findings — if we can’t help you save, we don’t get paid
