Who Is Your Pharmacy Benefit Really Benefiting?

For many employers and plan sponsors, the term "pharmacy benefit" has started to feel like a contradiction.

Costs rise. Explanations stay vague. Member Service is hard to reach.

The question worth asking is straightforward: Who Is Your Pharmacy Benefit Really Benefiting?

If the honest answer is not your organization and your members, something is off.

A genuine pharmacy benefit controls costs, serves members well, and gives plan sponsors clear visibility into every dollar spent. Getting all three right starts with choosing the right PBM.

The Five Pillars of a Genuine Pharmacy Benefit

These are the standards every pharmacy benefit program should be measured against.

1. Aligned Incentives

A PBM should succeed when you succeed. When a PBM profits from the cost of drugs rather than from your savings, its incentives run counter to yours.

DisclosedRx operates as The Fiduciary and Fully Disclosed PBM®, contractually and ethically bound to act in the best interests of our clients. One straightforward admin fee. No conflicts.

2. Full Disclosure

You should know exactly what your drugs cost, what rebates are attached to your spend, and where every dollar goes.

Real-time visibility into your data is not a premium feature; it is a baseline expectation. Full Disclosure means the entire value equation is visible to you, not a curated version of it.

3. Accountable Execution

Identifying a savings opportunity is not the same as capturing it. A PBM that spots savings and leaves the follow-through to you is leaving money on the table.

Accountable execution means taking ownership of moving savings from potential to actual, consistently.

4. Simplicity

Complexity in pharmacy benefits is often intentional. Layered fees, confusing contracts, and opaque approval processes create cover for costs that should not exist.

A well-structured pharmacy benefit has a clear fee, a defined scope of service, and no ambiguity about who is working for whom.

5. Consistent Member Service

Every member deserves the same standard of care, regardless of employer size or contract terms.

Responsive, empathetic Member Service is not a differentiator; it is a requirement. When a member calls with a question about their medication, they should get an answer.

How DisclosedRx Delivers on Each Pillar

These pillars are only meaningful if a PBM is structured to actually fulfill them.

At DisclosedRx, each one is addressed directly, by design and by contract:

• Aligned Incentives: One admin fee, contractually defined. Our revenue does not depend on what your drugs cost, so our goals and yours point in the same direction.

• Full Disclosure: 100% pass-through on drug pricing and rebates. You see what we see, every time, with no markups and nothing held back.

• Accountable Execution: Our Enhanced Specialty Cost Control and Agile Channel Management programs actively route medications through the most cost-effective channels, capturing savings on your behalf rather than flagging them for you to chase.

• Simplicity: No spread pricing, no layered fees, no confusing contract language. The DisclosedRx model is built to be understood, not deciphered.

• Consistent Member Service: Every member receives the same attentive, solution-focused care. No tiered service levels, no runaround.
