Benchmarking
MedBen Analytics' benchmarking capabilities enable you to compare your data against state and national norms and/or specific industries. You can narrow your benchmarks by plan type, number of lives and other metrics to get a true measure of how your plan stacks up.
Your benchmarking choice is immediately reflected on the dashboard content.
Straight RBP
Providers receive fair reimbursement by using Medicare pricing as the primary source of repricing. And because your plan no longer has a PPO, your plan members can go anywhere they choose for medical care.
Pharmacy Cost Plus Pricing
RBP for your prescription drugs.
Layered RBP
Target high-cost medical treatments, such as kidney dialysis.

Pharmacy Solutions.
MedBen Rx follows a simple philosophy: The client's money belongs to the client. Our pharmacy solutions are designed to get members the right drug at the lowest cost, with total transparency to the employer. These include:
- Pricing solutions that ensure clients pay just what the pharmacies pay.
- Appropriateness solutions to find the most effective drugs at the best cost.
- Access solutions that give members new ways to lower their drug cost.
Direct-to-Employer Contracting
Many MedBen clients blend their RBP plan with direct-to-employer (DTE) contracts, which promote the use of quality care through local providers. In exchange for encouraging members to visit contracted facilities, providers bill the plan at mutually agreed-upon rates.
MedBen has been facilitating DTE contracting for over a decade with doctors and hospitals across the Midwest, and we continue to gain access to more exclusive DTE contracting. This strategy ensures that when members utilize area providers, they receive the best pricing options available.
