The New York Times just dropped a revealing video on how legacy PBMs are inflating drug costs. At SmithRx, we're writing a different story. One of the distressing examples of PBMs prioritizing profits over patient savings is with a popular autoimmune drug. In contrast, our Autoimmune Connect 360 program: - Has saved employers over $9.5M by transitioning members to affordable biosimilars like YUSIMRY - Ensures members access needed medications with minimal to no co-payment - Continuously adapts to health trends, blending care with cost-efficiency While legacy PBMs might be part of the problem, SmithRx is building the solution. We're redefining prescription drug savings with innovative programs that significantly lower medication costs for groups. Connect 360 strikes the perfect balance between financial savings and member health.

Hats off to NYT reporters Reed Abelson and Rebecca Robbins for uncovering the hidden truths about prescription drug costs. Thanks to their investigation, millions of Americans will gain a clearer view of the opaque practices of PBMs, shedding light on how these impact healthcare affordability. It's clear that the current system often prioritizes profits over patient needs. As SmithRx SVP of Product Strategy Alan Pannier notes, 'Evaluating PBMs through a cost-based lens is the only way to expose the problem. Employers should stop thinking of healthcare payments as a ‘tax’ and look at their per member per month spend (pmpm).' Stay tuned this week for a further analysis of how these revelations affect your healthcare decisions. It’s 2024, time to prioritize transparency and affordability. https://lnkd.in/gie2qXjk
