The Challenge<\/h2>\n
\n

In March of 2018, Premise Health rolled out the Variable Copay Program. The program leverages existing assistance programs to reduce plan costs and offset copays for expensive medications. Not only does it help plans save on high cost medications by capturing the maximum benefit of manufacturer copay cards, it also reduces or eliminates member\u2019s copayment responsibility required by the assistance program or original plan design.<\/p>\n

While medication therapy works for most chronic conditions, their inflated cost requires complicated financial planning. As a result, navigating high cost therapies are employers number one concern when managing pharmacy benefits1. Compounding this is the fact that the U.S. pays roughly four times more than other countries for the same medications2. Many self- insured employers, such as our client, take on much of the cost.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of a year, the program proved to be a definitive success that ultimately led to 100% member satisfaction and a complete offset of the pharmacy’s operating expense.<\/p>\n
