The cost of drugs has risen more than any of the healthcare expenditure. As per the insurance consultants at Milliman, drug costs were merely 16% of the overall health costs in 2015, which rose by 102% over a decade and accounted for around 14% in 2015.

There are established companies offering these services who aid in reducing drug prices by negotiating with retail pharmacies and drug manufacturers.

Health plans collaborate with the pharmacy benefit managers to offer medications at a lower price than those available at retail pharmacies.

To manage the cost of prescription drugs and improve the customer value, PBMs use various tools such as pharmacy networks, mail-service pharmacies, drug formulary, e-prescribing, manufacturer’s discount, disease management, drug utilization review, and pharmacy discount cards (for the uninsured). To manage these tools and the PBMs account, there are various prescription claim software/systems marketed worldwide. © Coherent market Insights. All Rights Reserved REPORT DESCRIPTION Pharmacy Benefit Management Market Taxonomy The global pharmacy benefit management market can be analyzed on the basis of the beneficiaries of these services i.e. the healthcare providers, employers, and drug manufacturers. A major population in the U.S. receives healthcare benefits from their employers. Therefore, employers are also seeking to reduce their costs and opt for pharmacy benefit management services. The providers of pharmacy benefit management services also manage the prescription drug claims i.e. act as a link between the payers and health insurers. The Pharmacy Benefit Management Market is Highly Concentrated in Developed Markets The global market in pharmacy benefit management is analyzed across five major regions - North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa. Presence of PBM is concentrated in the developed economies of North America and Europe. Increase in subscribers of Medicare prescription drug program is projected to fuel demand for PBMs in the U.S. Besides, the pharmacy benefit managers also aid in deciding whether a generic or branded product would benefit the patient. Patents for around 40 blockbuster brands worth US$ 155 billion are expected to expire by 2020. Generics have a good profit margin, which can benefit the pharmacy benefit managers/management companies, thus favorably shaping the pharmacy benefit management market outlook.

However, even with the presence of major players in this industry, the PBMs have been ineffective in curbing the drug price hike. Further, with the advent of Affordable Care Act and the constant endeavor of governments to reduce and cap the drug prices, profitability of this industry is expected to be significantly impacted in the near future.
