Thought Leadership

Stepping Toward a More Affordable Future

Stepping Toward a More Affordable Future

PBMs provide $145 billion in value for the U.S. health care system annually by lowering prescription drug costs. Additionally, PBMs enable better health outcomes for patients and offer employers and other health insurance plan sponsors the choices and guidance they need to expand access and provide quality prescription drug coverage for millions of Americans.

PBMs and Pharmacies
