Pharmacy Practice

Our Pharmacy Practice is here to help you evaluate and manage your program by providing end to end support.

Pharmacy Practice and Rx Coalition

Estimates say specialty drugs will account for half of the total US drug spend by 2020, even though only 1% to 2% of people use them. Add to this a changing marketplace with mega mergers between Payors and PBMs, more calls for transparency, including evaluating the impact of rebates on overall pricing, and new emerging treatments at $1 million cost. Employers are stuck in the middle seeking help controlling costs, while offering their members medicines they need, at affordable cost sharing.

The Marsh McLennan Agency Pharmacy Practice helps employers and group purchasing organizations evaluate their program and, on average, save at least 15% off their current pharmacy spend.
