The world of pharmacy can be complicated without someone knowledgeable to help you navigate it. Providing your employees with the most effective program starts by having the right partner. Having the right partner with your organization’s best interests at the forefront, knowing the right questions to ask, and being up-to-date on the ever-changing pharmacy landscape are vital to a functioning pharmacy plan.
Pharmacy plans often use a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM). As the administrators of the pharmacy world, PBMs negotiate rebates and discounts from drug manufacturers and the prices paid to pharmacies where members fill their prescriptions. They also set the preferred drug lists (known as formularies), adjudicate pharmacy claims, and often perform the utilization review that determines which drugs are clinically appropriate for a member. While PBMs are an important part of the pharmacy landscape, their contract language can at times be difficult to navigate.
This is where a pharmacy partner comes into play. Along with your legal team, they can help you navigate the nuances of these contracts and help you negotiate an agreement that can be the most beneficial to you. While holding your PBM accountable throughout your journey and maintaining a reasonable contract, a pharmacy partner can also initiate financial performance audits to ensure the plans you are providing are working as intended.
