Helping to lower drug costs

Effective formularies are one of the best ways to ensure you have the lowest total cost of care, and a well-managed formulary starts with proactive, comprehensive pipeline management. Best of all, you have the flexibility to choose a drug mix that best meets your goals thanks to Prime’s highly configurable options for formulary management.

A powerful tool for integrated drug management

Our SourceRx formulary gives employees access to the right medications while cutting out drugs that are medically unnecessary or more costly compared to other available therapies. Simply put, we focus on providing access to the drugs people need and not the ones they don’t. 

Greater price awareness and engagement

This web-based software, including user-friendly mobile app, fully integrates with your benefit design to analyze claims as they come in. Rx Savings Solutions Core Solution provides the lowest available price to your employees, helping them become better consumers and resulting in savings across the board. 
Rx Savings Solutions is an independent company working with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama to help members find lower price options for prescription medications. 

Integrated data to optimize drug use

With HighTouchRx®, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama and Prime apply machine learning across integrated end-to-end data from the pharmacy benefit (e.g., oral tablets) and medical benefit (e.g., IV drug infusions) to identify inappropriate use. Then, specialized pharmacists reach out to providers to recommend drug therapy optimization. Following pharmacist intervention, Prime provides reporting showing hard dollar savings.

HighTouchRx uncovers $30K in monthly savings

Prime identified an employee who was using a high-cost medication that involved two-tab doses, when the same dosage was available in one tab. By connecting the employee’s doctor and pharmacist, who agreed on the updated dosage, we were able to lower the employee’s drug cost and save the employer tens of thousands of dollars each month.3
