Pharmacy Benefit Management :A new transmission in Pharmaceutical industry

                                                                          Pharmacy Benefit Management

In the HealthCare , the PBM business is rapidly changing. Regulatory guidelines, a focus on lowering drug costs, and the provision of advanced prescription products to better manage members' health conditions are all driving these changes. PBMs collaborate with drug manufacturers to create the formulary. Manufacturer rebates are negotiated and incentive by PBMs, who keep part or all of the rebates. The higher the rebate, the more expensive the covered drug.

The pharmacy benefit management (PBM) industry is a collection of businesses that act as intermediaries between insurance companies, pharmacies, and drug manufacturers. PBMs are in charge of ensuring that insurers and insurance companies pay lower drug costs.

The Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) client offers a complete suite of programs, including clinical services, mail, speciality, formulator management, rebate contracting, worksite centers, and claims processing. In addition, they are a leading processor of Medicare Part-D prescriptions. The client provides tailored Pharmacy Benefit Management solutions to help clients with their cost containment strategies while providing members the access to the medications they need to ensure their health.

The client was having difficulty developing systems and capabilities to satisfy their rapidly evolving business needs. Their legacy business applications were outdated and difficult to maintain. Enhancements and changes to business processes made it impossible for them to meet their objectives or client service level agreements. Additionally, the client was trying to expand customer service offerings to improve its market share in the PBM space. Employers, managed care organisations, and other third-party payers use Pharmacy Benefit Management companies (PBMs) to design, implement, and administer outpatient drug benefit programmes.

Independent of other health-care services, PBMs manage or "carve out" prescription drug benefits (such as physician and hospital services). PBMs serve as go-between for pharmaceutical companies and third-party payers. PBMs, one of the newest entrants into today's managed health care system, are currently a hot topic of discussion due to rising drug costs for both private and public payers. Furthermore, the recent acquisition of PBMs by some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies has raised legal and ethical concerns.

PBMs have two main goals: curating pharmacy prescription benefit plan options and assisting patients in achieving better health outcomes by providing more access to appropriate medications. PBMs collaborate with drug manufacturers, wholesalers, pharmacies, and plan sponsors to accomplish this
