Modern PBMs are Offering Real Alternatives for Sustainable, Patient-Centric Solutions

In this powerful expose by Dan and Mary Strause, they bring attention to PBM issues and highlight how modern PBM solutions can offer a real alternative for employers seeking a sustainable, patient-centered approach. While government reform alone may not resolve these challenges, the right PBM solutions are already here, ready to make a difference today. This video is worth 10 minutes of your time.

As employers push for greater AWP discounts, they may not realize that big box chains can only reduce prices to a certain extent, leaving independent pharmacies to bear the brunt of these cuts. Legacy PBMs have traditionally driven the industry toward a discount-based focus, impacting both drug costs and independent pharmacies.

The industry doesn’t have to work this way. Today, modern PBM solutions at AffirmedRx take a cost-based approach, focusing on the optimal drug mix with clinical review to lower overall spend without undercutting the local pharmacies that patients trust.

In an industry where transparency and patient-focused care are often overlooked, AffirmedRx is committed to doing things differently—and doing them right. Led by our CEO, Greg Baker, we’re proud to spotlight our approach in this new video expose. At AffirmedRx, we’re reimagining what a Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) can be by prioritizing transparency, integrity, and patient-centric solutions. With cutting-edge analytics and a dedication to open communication, we’re transforming medication management to create real value for our clients and patients. Check out the video to see how we’re making a difference in the PBM industry by putting patients and partners first.
