How to Apply a Championship Mentality to Critical Pharmacy Priorities
Posted on April 13, 2022
Negotiating an innovative, best-in-class PBM agreement is akin to knocking it out of the park on draft night and free agency. It is critical, but you won’t win that championship if you don’t follow through with rigorous coaching and development. Optimized program performance is much the same. The time spent evaluating the program’s performance, identifying opportunities for improvement, implementing changes, and monitoring the impact determines whether a plan sponsor realizes the benefits of the well-negotiated PBM agreement.
Rarely does a benefits team have the market and clinical expertise, technology, and bandwidth that it takes to realize all available savings fully. This is why PSG Complete everything needed— people, technology, solutions— to serve as a trusted extension of the benefits team.
