Pharmacy benefit managers are at the forefront of implementing innovative contracting techniques that better align the cost of medications with their value. By offering additional tools to manage specialty drugs, including the use of specialty pharmacies, PBMs and payers are improving the quality and continuity of care patients receive, while ensuring they derive the greatest value from their medications. Over the next 10 years, PBMs and specialty pharmacies will save an estimated total of $654 billion on drug costs for health plan sponsors.
