As the PBM landscape consolidates around a few monolithic players, it’s become increasingly difficult for independent challengers to carve out space for themselves in a dominantly payer-owned field. Even one of the largest independent pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in the United States found they could not compete on cost.

At the heart of the vision is a unique program launched with a small network of best-in-class specialty pharmacies, chosen because they offer patient-support services that improve logistics, promote access and adherence, and reduce costly healthcare episodes. And it works.
These partnerships have upheld the belief that more empowered, knowledgeable, and cared-for patients have better outcomes and use the healthcare system more efficiently. This is how independent PBMs are carving out a true niche as the partner who cares about patients and lowers healthcare costs universally.
