In last week's article, I shared a case study from one of our clients, CareFlite.

If you haven't gotten a chance to read it, it's still available for you?HERE?.

Lowering your pharmacy costs by 40% is a challenging task- to accomplish this CareFlite deployed three key strategies:

  1. They hired a transparent pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) to ensure no hidden fees or costs.
  2. They incentivized the use of generic drugs by eliminating employee copays.
  3. They "carved out" specialty medications from the health insurance plan to leverage drug manufacturers' assistance to reduce the specialty drugs' costs significantly.

Now, after reading the article, you may be wondering-
