The best care is integrated care

People feel and live better when care and medicine work together. Integrated drug management helps lower your total cost of care while boosting employee satisfaction.

Integrated pharmacy benefits drive more savings

One best-in-class solution

Integrating pharmacy with medical benefits provides care managers and clinicians a full picture of employees’ health, resulting in more targeted interventions, a single, uniform picture of the employee’s health status, and the potential to improve medication adherence and overall health outcomes. In addition, value-based care agreements can be enhanced with carve-in pharmacy benefits, providing more complete contractual care performance metrics and reporting.
