Rx Carve-Out: If you haven't already crunched the numbers, you could be in for a pleasant surprise.
More employers are choosing to "carve-out" the pharmacy benefit of their health plans. Prescription drug coverage is the most utilized healthcare benefit, trending annually at 15% to 25%. Pharmacy costs represent nearly 30% of total healthcare dollars. As these costs continue to rise, it is becoming increasingly important to proactively manage the pharmacy benefit.
Why carve-out your prescription drug benefit to a pharmacy benefit manager? Cost containment. To better control pharmacy benefit costs, many employers separate or carve-out their prescription drug benefit from their major medical plan and contract directly with a pharmacy benefit manager, who is able to focus only on managing prescription drug costs.
