Is your pharmacy benefit manager delivering value?

While pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) have historically been measured on how well they control prescription drug costs, they should be actively promoting value, driving innovation and improving overall health outcomes. To make sure you are getting your money's worth, here are 4 questions you should ask:

  1. How can I be sure my prescription benefit dollars are not going to waste? 
  2. How can I find high quality, cost-effective care for my members who have the most complex needs? 
  3. Is my PBM thinking about all of healthcare, or just pharmacy? 
  4. Is my PBM giving me strategic guidance?
