The CEOs of the Big Three PBMs are facing fines or imprisonment of up to five years, according to a press release shared last week from the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. https://lnkd.in/e9uXpZJ2 James Comer, chairman of the committee, called out the CEOs of CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx for claiming that they don’t steer patients to their PBM-owned pharmacies. This directly contradicts the committee’s and FTC’s findings. They accused the industry of "favoritism toward its own pharmacies and creating vast market control, affecting both medication access and affordability." At EmpiRx Health, we’ve pioneered value-based pharmacy benefits management. We replaced the traditional PBM model, which prioritizes volume-driven profits, with a clinically-driven, customer-first approach that's backed by a clinical savings guarantee. Contact us at https://lnkd.in/eeiGZpxM to learn more about our unique, clinically-driven PBM model and how partnering with EmpiRx Health can improve health outcomes and reduce plan costs. #PBM #Scrutiny #Healthcare

The legacy PBM business model has long been rooted in the flawed assumption that pushing higher drug volumes equates to higher rebates and greater “savings” for plan sponsors. The fact is, however, that inflated rebate levels coupled with poor clinical management, do nothing to reduce drug costs or improve patient health outcomes. Now, there’s a breakthrough PBM model that’s proven to measurably improve patient health and well-being while slashing prescription drug spending for plan sponsors and lowering per-member/per-month costs. This clinically-driven pharmacy care approach starts with putting the pharmacist at the center of the PBM service model. The mission of clinically-driven pharmacy care is to make sure patients receive the right drugs, at the right time, at the right cost. How radical is that? Ready to transform your pharmacy benefits plan? Join us for EmpiRx Health’s exclusive webinar “The PMPM Trend is Now Your Friend!” Thursday, September 26th, 11 am EST.

Biosimilars offer the same level of safety and effectiveness as the original products, but at a lower cost – sometimes substantially lower. Check out our latest blog to learn why traditional PBMs haven’t prioritized biosimilars, and how working with a clinically-driven PBM that embraces these lower-cost biologic medications can substantially benefit plan sponsors and their members. https://lnkd.in/gqkpC6be #Biosimilars #Healthcare #Blog

EmpiRx Health is transforming the PBM industry by putting the pharmacist at the center of a clinically-driven, customer-first pharmacy care model. Our clinical pharmacists use AI-powered population health analytics to coordinate the best patient care, delivering significantly improved plan performance and customer results and optimizing member health outcomes. How? In one instance our Population Health Management engine identified that a 37-year-old patient’s medication, Acthar gel, was not FDA-approved for the management of her Nephrotic syndrome. Upon review of the chart notes, our clinical pharmacist found that the patient had seven months of treatment with her previous insurance company but no clinical response to treatment. As a result, our clinical pharmacist engaged the prescribing physician to discuss an alternate treatment, Rituxan, which has shown effectiveness in clinical studies. The adjustment was made, and the patient's symptoms were resolved after the first infusion cycle. This allowed her return to work and resume her normal daily activities. The pharmacy benefits plan saw $482,000 in annual savings due to this single clinical intervention.

NEW WEBINAR! Join EmpiRx Health for a new webinar, “The PMPM Trend is Now Your Friend.” WHEN: Thursday, September 26th, 2024 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST The traditional method of evaluating PBMs is outdated and flawed. Using the same old spreadsheet to assess the performance and costs of all PBMs is fundamentally a false choice. Different PBMs use different business and operating models, which have profound effects on the PMPM (per-member/per-month) cost trends experienced by plan sponsors. For example, if a PBM emphasizes volume-driven rebates or has a brand-over-generic strategy, they should be measured in a very different way than a PBM partner that employs a clinically-driven, value-based pharmacy care model. Real-world experience has shown that plan sponsors can achieve substantially better PMPM cost trends when their PBM uses a clinically-driven pharmacy care model that puts the pharmacist at the center of the service model. A clinically-driven PBM approach also improves member health outcomes and quality of life. Register Now! https://lnkd.in/g6cdMP6G

EmpiRx Health’s clinically-driven pharmacy care model, Clinically™ - Powered by EmpiRx Health, emphasizes healthcare value over drug sales volume and rebates. Equally important, unlike other PBMs, our pharmacy care approach does not rely on a restrictive formulary or reduced medication access. The EmpiRx Health clinically-driven PBM model is centered on strong collaboration between our clinical pharmacists and prescribing physicians to produce the most clinically-appropriate medication therapies that that not only optimize patient health outcomes but significantly reduce costs. How? In one instance our Population Health Management engine identified a 32-year-old patient’s medication as prescribed could increase the blood concentration of that drug, leading to harmful side effects. Our clinical pharmacist assessed the patient’s condition to determine a safe and appropriate dosage and then engaged the prescribing physician to recommend a reduced dosage. The adjustment was made, and potential side effects were avoided. As a result, the patient was able to avoid the drug’s side effects and the plan saw $155,231 in annual savings due to this single clinical intervention.
