"US-Rx Care - The Pharmacy Benefits Risk Management Company"

What is a PBRM?

Pharmacy Benefits Risk Management - The Evolution of the Pharmacy Benefits Management (PMB) industry.

"Pharmacy Benefits Risk Management"

Originally formed as a Pharmacy Benefits Management company, US-Rx Care has created the next level in our industry, Pharmacy Benefits Risk Management. This PBM industry evolution is changing the model in which pharmacy administrators operate. The industry currently operates under a spread pricing model that is not in the best interest of the client. US-Rx Care's "Savings Model" with "Fixed Cost Pricing" reduces the risk to our clients and creates a mutually beneficial fiduciary relationship. When the client saves money, we earn money. This model is a much needed departure from traditional PBM pricing models.

Understanding where your prescription drug costs are coming from has become more complicated over the years. Traditional PBM's are plagued with many layers often masking where they are generating revenue. The Pharmacy Benefits Risk Management (PBRM) industry was created to combat the inefficiencies of PBM's. The buzzword "transparency" has shown up in the industry in the past few years but is rarely practiced in the traditional PBM model. True transparency is achieved through US-Rx Care's fixed cost / savings program.

PBM

The traditional PBM provides specific Pharmacy Benefits Management services to plans for a fee. This service is provided at a percentage mark-up of the cost to the plan or on a per claim expense. This model provides a disincentive for the PBM to reduce costs for the plan. These reductions would also reduce revenues to the PBM.

PRBM

The US Rx-Care industry changing Pharmacy Benefits Risk Management (PRBM) model is the exact opposite. Our PBRM Partners with Plans to provide Services plus Savings by working with members and their physicians on pharmaceutical alternatives. This mutual cooperation is the key to savings.
