Reducing Specialty Cost with RxBenefits and Preferred Solutions
RxBenefits’ Preferred Financial Assistance solutions help patients get the medications they need at the lowest possible price while helping plan sponsors offset costs and reduce risk.
Whether it’s a high-cost specialty medication or lower-cost generic, we’re always looking for ways to help members save – and in many instances the plan saves, too.
Manufacturer Assistance Solutions
Mitigating the cost of pricey specialty drugs to help patients get the medication they need
Through manufacturer assistance solutions, drug manufacturers connect qualifying patients with the drugs they need at more affordable prices. This comes in the form of copay assistance – the manufacturer covers the patient’s copay, leaving the patient with no cost to them at the pharmacy counter.
Manufacturer assistance solutions are available through all three of the leading PBMs. RxBenefits helps benefit consultants and their clients get the most out of these programs, minimizing out-of-pocket costs for the member as they purchase their crucial, expensive drugs.
Patient Assistance Solutions
Easing the burden of high-cost specialty drugs
When plan sponsors are struggling to balance the cost of specialty meds against their employees’ need for access, the impact isn’t just on the bottom line – employee satisfaction and clinical outcomes can suffer. RxBenefits’ Patient Assistance solutions* help members find and apply for alternative sources of funding to help ease the burden of those pricey drugs for members and employers.
RxBenefits’ Patient Assistance solutions are part of a multifaceted approach to meet employers’ unique needs. When used in tandem with RxBenefits Protect, our proprietary suite of clinical oversight programs, they can help reduce waste within many employers’ pharmacy plans, mitigate the impact of high-cost specialty drugs, protect the health and safety of members, and provide a quality member experience.
*Eligibility for Patient Assistance solutions is subject to member qualification.
