In working through a contract renewal with its former PBM, San Diego Electrical Health & Welfare Trust (the Trust) and its consultant uncovered questionable contract details. Through further evaluation, the Trust realized its PBM lacked transparency and flexibility, leaving them to wonder if they were receiving all the available savings.

Looking at PBMs through a new lens, the Trust went out to bid, carefully scrutinizing PBMs based on their models and contract language. Their goal: complete transparency and pass through to reduce costs.

Getting complete transparency and pass through pharmacy benefits management resulted in a 21% decrease in total net cost per member per month (PMPM) in the first year.

How did they do it?
Using
Navitus’ unique pass-through PBM model guaranteed that 100% of all discounts and rebates received were passed directly back to the Trust.
