High-cost specialty drugs can make up more than 60% of a health plan’s pharmacy costs. MedBen Rx’s benefit preservation program is designed to make certain that members have continued access to medications while reducing specialty drug spend to the greatest extent possible.
Benefits preservation…
- Uses advocates to access a variety of available resources, including manufacturers’ programs, grants, and foundations.
- Ensures that members can continue to receive the medications they need without facing prohibitive out-of-pocket expenses.
- Helps patients to adhere to their treatment regimens, leading to better management of chronic conditions and improved outcomes.
- Streamlines prior authorization processes, which can reduce delays in obtaining necessary medications.
Here’s an example of how benefit preservation works: A MedBen Rx client who added the program to their pharmacy plan has a member who was prescribed the specialty medication Tremfya. An advocate found the member a manufacturer assistance program that makes the drug available to the member at no cost to the member or to the plan.
In the first twelve months after adding benefit preservation, the member and plan saved $82,500.
The benefit preservation program complements your pharmacy plan with additional saving opportunities. Get complete details by calling your broker or contacting MedBen Rx at 888-627-8683.
