The Hidden Costs of Pharmacy Benefit Management

The insurance industry is often operated for the benefit of large brokers and insurance giants, leaving buyers manipulated and at a disadvantage. We turn our attention to the Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) sector, a realm traditionally obscured and dominated by the Big-3 PBMs, in which CVS, Optum, and Express Scripts control roughly 80% of the PBM market. What if there was an alternative that not only competes with the Big-3 but also offers significant savings to employers?Dr Stephen T. Boyd, EVP & Co-Founder of Liviniti, shares his insights into the traditional PMB model and the advantages of a fully transparent process.
