Our Perspective.
The GLP-1 Revolution: What Expanding Indications Means for Employers in 2026
We are at the beginning of a broader therapeutic transition as clinicians recognized that GLP-1 medications influence much more than blood sugar alone.
Rebate Guarantees: What Employers Should Demand
A drug with a higher rebate had a better chance of being favored over alternatives, even when the clinical profiles of the drugs were similar.
Reframing the Role of UM in PBM Strategy
Utilization management (UM) programs are often cast as the referees; enforcing rules, limiting waste, and protecting plan sponsors from runaway drug costs.
Ingredient Cost and Why it Matters
Understanding what ingredient cost actually represents and how it plays out across different segments of the industry is essential for any self funded employer trying to control rising pharmacy expenses.
