Strategic Benefit Plan Design
Our flexible approach to plan design ensures you drive physicians, pharmacists and members toward the lowest net cost drug. We focus on using lowest cost generics and small drug molecules, in lieu of expensive biotech drugs, when medically appropriate. Our clinical team will analyze your utilization data to recommend the plan design that best aligns with your clinical and economic objectives.

- Mail-order: We work with plan sponsors to select their mail vendor(s) of choice from our network of nearly 30 pharmacies to support effective management of maintenance drugs.
- Specialty: Choose from our five preferred specialty pharmacy vendors to manage specialty drugs according to your needs.
