Empowering Employers: Unveiling the Importance of Transparency in PBM Data Analytics
Employers, who bear a significant responsibility in ensuring the well-being of their employees, have found themselves at a disadvantage due to the opacity of access to data analytics from traditional Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). These PBMs have been notorious for their tight grip on member data, leaving employers in the dark when making informed health care and cost-benefit decisions.
AffirmedRx is on a mission to transform this industry by providing unparalleled transparency and data analytics, empowering employers with the tools they need to make impactful decisions for their employees and their families.
A Lack of Access and Clear Data
Traditional PBMs have been notorious for their reluctance to share this data with employers, leaving them in the dark about health care trends and the needs of their employees. Without access to this critical information, employers cannot craft well-informed health care strategies that reduce costs and enhance the continuity of care for their members, thus compromising the pharmacy benefit solution that members deserve.
Even with legally required published access to prescription drug data, much of the data provided is in an unreadable and inaccessible format.
