Re:what value did the PBM add in this transaction?
Dew,
As you know, I think that your assertion that the PBM does nothing but increase costs to health care is beyond argument. The reason that they are still around is that the PBM can claim that my sponsor has saved 5 figures on anti-lipid therapy due to the PBM intervention. Do you think that management really is looking too closely at this savings and what it could be? I can guarantee that the sponsor's benefit coordinator will be more likely to get praise from this deal than get fired.
I can assume that there are some business owners that read this board, so I will be a gentle as possible. Don't be uneducated and/or lazy. The best why to control your medical costs is to personally control as much of the supply costs as possible.
Or just give up and sign up for socialized medicine. Then we all can support your medical costs.
