1. Bend the prescription drug spending curve in 2025 – You don’t have to just accept constantly rising drug spending and costs as the inevitable status quo for your pharmacy benefits plan. The entire point of effective pharmacy benefits management is to measurably lower drug costs, which includes bending the growth curve over time. Find a PBM partner who will help you achieve that critical goal. Check out our webinar to learn more.
  2. Focus on patient health outcomes, not financial arbitrage – Pharmacy care is healthcare. In fact, drug costs now constitute more than a quarter of healthcare spending and growing. The PBM industry needs to get back to its founding healthcare mission and leave the financial trading to the Wall Street firms. Check out our new video.
  3. Use a clinical lens to make critical pharmacy benefits decisions – The legacy PBM industry has forced clients into a self-defeating quest for more and higher drug rebates, driving up pharmacy spending with no real improvement in patient health outcomes. By adopting a clinically-driven approach to pharmacy benefits management, you will ensure that your members always receive the right drugs, at the right time, at the right cost. Read our new e-book, “Putting the Pharmacist Back in Pharmacy Benefits Management.”
  4. Demand pharmacy care that actually cares – Reducing costs is important, but job #1 for any successful pharmacy benefits program must be quality member and customer care. Why does it always seem like the largest PBMs didn’t get that memo? Demand the highest quality care for your members, and yourself. You are paying for it, and you deserve it. Check out some of our case studies to see the results of true, quality care.
  5. Convince your elected officials to enact meaningful PBM reform legislation – After all the talk and proposals, it’s time for the new Presidential Administration and Congress to adopt truly transformative PBM reform legislation. Plan sponsors and their members need – and deserve – legislative and regulatory reforms that drive true transparency, end the self-dealing of the biggest PBMs that inflate drug spending, and protect community pharmacies who provide trusted healthcare in every corner of America.
