Clinical Savings Calculator

Traditional PBMs claim big savings by driving greater drug volumes and chasing rebates, often tied to expensive branded medications. We call this “PBM Math” and it’s more of a shell game than a game changer in pharmacy care. There’s a better way to manage your pharmacy benefits, a clinically-driven, pharmacist-led model that lowers costs while prioritizing member health — no “PBM Math” allowed! Plus, we offer a Clinical Savings Guarantee. If we don’t meet our savings guarantee, we reimburse you dollar-for-dollar. Want to learn more? Read our blog here:

 

We’ve developed a Clinical Savings Calculator to give you a clear picture of how much EmpiRx Health can save you on your pharmacy benefits program. Check it out here.

Pharmacist-Led Pharmacy Care: Lowering Costs, Improving Health Outcomes

The PBM of the future is here today. Check out our latest video to see the power of clinically-driven pharmacy care with pharmacists leading the way.

Prescription drug costs are rising faster than any other area of healthcare spending, but the legacy PBM industry has failed to reduce these costs.

At EmpiRx Health, our pharmacist-led PBM model is solving the drug cost problem by putting pharmacists at the center of the action. The result is substantially reduced prescription drug costs and measurably improved member health outcomes.
