NEW Upcoming Webinar

“The PMPM Trend is Now Your Friend”
October 24, 2024 – 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST

The traditional method of evaluating PBMs is broken. Using the same spreadsheet to assess all PBMs overlooks their different operating models, which significantly impact PMPM (per-member/per-month) costs.

Plan sponsors achieve better PMPM cost trends when their PBM employs a clinically-driven pharmacy care model.

Learn how this innovative PBM approach can result in lower net spend and better patient health outcomes for plan sponsors and members.
