Why smart employers play the long game with pharmacy strategy
When it comes to pharmacy benefits, the pressure to chase the latest solution can be intense and costly. But the employers who come out ahead aren’t necessarily the ones who move fastest. Instead, they’re asking better questions and demanding better data.
Our VP of Pharmacy Strategy breaks down the emerging therapies generating the most buzz right now (such as biosimilars, GLP-1s, and cell and gene therapies) and what a smarter, more sustainable approach actually looks like.
Take a moment to read our latest THINK piece whether you’re evaluating your current pharmacy coverage or simply want to go into your next renewal conversation better informed.
Ways to save on prescription drugs
Prescription drug costs are one of the fastest-growing expenses for employees; however, employees may not realize that they have options and could potentially pay less at the pharmacy counter. From choosing generics and comparing prices to using discount cards and online pharmacies, small changes can add up to real savings.
Share our prescription costs savings guide with your employees so they can make the most of their pharmacy benefits no matter who provides them.
What to expect at your free preventive care visit
Spring is a great reminder to encourage your employees to use one of the most valuable benefits available to them: their annual preventive care visit. Many health plans cover this visit at no additional cost — but it often goes unused simply because members aren’t sure what it involves or why it matters. This quick read takes the mystery out of preventive care and gives employees a reason to make that appointment.
Biosimilars: What you need to know
If any of your employees are managing conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, or diabetes with biologic medications, they may have questions about biosimilars — especially as these drugs become more common in health plans. This article explains how biosimilars work, how they differ from generics, and what employees should discuss with their doctor before making any changes. It’s a helpful resource to share as biosimilar coverage continues to evolve.
