The Impact of Rising Prescription Drug Costs

Healthcare costs have been steadily increasing, and prescription drugs have emerged as a major contributor to this trend. Employers, especially those with self-funded health care plans, are particularly concerned about the rising costs of prescription drugs. The misaligned incentives in the drug supply chain, prioritizing high-cost drugs for rebates, highly inflated generic costs, and inflated administrative fees, have contributed to significant overpayment of drug prices and limited transparency. As a result, employers are seeking innovative solutions to reduce costs and provide their employees with access to affordable and effective medications. ScriptCo Pharmacy offers unique and innovative solutions that drive a 30-50% reduction in total spend for self-funded employer health care plans. By leveraging advanced technology and strategic partnerships, ScriptCo Pharmacy empowers employers to optimize their health plan offerings, reduce costs, and ensure better healthcare options for their workforce.
