Cooperative Benefits Group (CBG)

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability report, “The Role of Pharmacy Benefit Managers in Prescription Drug Markets” describes PBMs as essential players in the prescription drug market, but their practices have raised serious concerns. Traditional PBM models have been criticized for increasing costs and limiting transparency. CBG’s transparent PBM model lowers net cost for patients and payers. Our approach: 💲 Lowest net cost ➡ Pass-through pricing  💊 Clinical drug management  🔍 Rebate transparency With FTC investigations, lawsuits, and proposed state and federal oversight, changes are likely on the horizon. CBG voluntarily adopted a transparent and ethical model. So, while other PBMs will scramble to comply with new regulation, CBG is at the forefront, demonstrating the success of a better way.  Read the full report here: The Role of Pharmacy Benefit Managers in Prescription Drug Markets. https://lnkd.in/epiF-8M5  #CBG #RealRx #PBM #TransparentPricing #CostSavings
