ResumoMy experience in plans, PBMs, and managed care consulting has shown that successful prescription drug benefit management requires integration of several critical components, including a membership-specific benefit design, distribution channels, claims and information systems, a drug formulary, clinical programs, and a pharmacy staff to execute the program. The pharmacy benefit exists to deliver the “best” medications to covered members to achieve desired clinical and economic outcomes. Prescriptions are the therapeutic connections that thread from physicians through pharmacists to patients, delivered within the framework of the benefit designs. A continuously flowing drug pipeline ensures that the search for the best drug is a Sisyphean task.
