A Big Carrier Made Big Promises.

Guess Who Actually Delivered?

Questions to ponder:

So much for promises. Failed Remedies Disappoint

How did it go? Despite the carrier’s reduced fees, the company’s pharmacy plan costs continued to rise, from $60.25 per member, per month (PMPM) with RxBenefits to $90.21 PMPM with the carrier. The lower fees didn’t help to counter the effects of drugflation or address the root of the company’s problems: specialty spend.

Shortcomings of the Carrier Model: Critical Limitations with Costly Consequences

From big talk to meaningful action. Finding a Sustainable Cure

The company knew who to turn to – or who to return to – to regain control and achieve its critical plan savings goals. In 2023, they re-engaged RxBenefits, opting to carve back out. Leveraging RxBenefits’ member-centric, pharmacy-focused approach, the transition unfolded seamlessly. The company regained flexibility along with data and contract transparency and restored independent clinical management to manage its plan to the lowest net cost.

Pharmacy costs fell dramatically

The benefits and finance teams felt more secure in the hands of a trusted partner.
