Clinical Pharmacy Services
Payers offering a drug benefit need to provide positive patient outcomes while simultaneously controlling drug costs. Our clinical pharmacy team’s innovative approach ensures that plans are providing services appropriately and effectively while also maximizing pharmacy benefit access for members.
What Challenges You
To make sound clinical and financial decisions for their members’ care, Medicaid agencies and health insurers need critical analysis and pharmacy intelligence, layered with clinical and operational excellence. Your organization may struggle with trying to ensure optimal care and treatment as it balances escalating drug costs. At the same time, in the pharmacy benefit industry, there has been limited transparency between state agencies and insurers, and their pharmacy benefit management vendors.

Our Impact
Maximizing pharmacy benefit access and outcomes, controlling costs
Focusing on the best outcomes for members and through less costly drug initiatives such as step therapy, formulary management, and prior authorization, and our team delivers an annual cost avoidance of more than $250M for one Medicaid client.
For a Medicaid Hepatitis C Vaccine Program, we oversaw a $10 return on investment in avoided medication spending for each $1 spent.
To date, we have assisted one client on seven value-based contracts negotiated directly with drug manufacturers—where payment is made based on the value threshold being reached—yielding over $120M in savings during the first year.
