Promising strategies help employers integrate pharmacy and medical programs--and reap cost, quality advantages.
Empl Benefits J. 2001 Sep; 26(3):23-7.EB

Abstract

Providing quality pharmacy benefits while managing costs is an escalating challenge for employers. Easy solutions such as higher copays and standard three-tier systems will not provide effective, long-lasting results that include improved clinical outcomes. Employers must concentrate on educating employees on the real cost and value of their pharmacy benefits and they must also take an integrated view of medical and pharmacy benefits.
