Employers Are Overlooking A Better Way To Control Healthcare Costs

With health benefit costs projected to jump dramatically, employers are under intense pressure to trim coverage or shift more expenses onto their workforce.

As SHARx Co-founder and CGO Paul Pruitt notes, “Before reducing coverage or increasing employee costs, leadership teams should understand what they are paying for, where the pharmacy dollars are going, and whether they have exhausted opportunities to reduce the underlying cost of the benefit.”

By evaluating PBM economics, examining claims data, and exploring alternative drug-access pathways, leadership can tackle the root drivers of rising costs rather than forcing employees to absorb the burden.
