EmpiRx Health CEO, Danny Sanchez, Open Letter in the New York Times:

In a full-page Open Letter recently published in the New York Times, Danny advocated strongly for the critical steps that must be taken to help plan sponsors lower the costs of prescription drugs while ensuring the health and well-being of your members. Danny also called for:

  • Attacking the Drug Cost Problem “At the Pen” – When the physician prescribes the medication for their patients.
  • Rethinking PBM Reform – Emphasizing “greater transparency” will not fix the underlying problems of the traditional PBM industry.
  • Adopting a “Clinically-Driven” PBM Model – The PBM industry needs to return to its core healthcare mission by putting the pharmacist back in pharmacy benefits management.

Clinically-Driven Pharmacy Care: Lowering Costs, Improving Health Outcomes

The PBM of the future is here today. Check out our latest video to see the power of clinically-driven pharmacy care!

Prescription drug costs are rising faster than any other area of healthcare spending, but legacy PBM models have failed to keep costs under control.

At EmpiRx Health, our clinically-driven pharmacy care model is tackling the cost of prescription drugs by putting pharmacists at the center of the PBM service model. The result is substantially reduced prescription drug costs and measurably improved member health outcomes.
