Reducing Pharmacy Costs Through Strategic Drug Selection for Mental Health
Background:
Mental health prescribers may be resistant to modifying therapy for stable patients. We understand the fragility of this population and conduct outreach to prescribers using a peer-to-peer approach. Members using an affordable regimen are more likely to be adherent, leading to better outcomes.
Opportunity:
Our pharmacy team identified a member taking a brand name medication with a higher member cost burden than other generics in the category.
Result:
We conducted outreach to the prescriber to discuss the economics in this scenario. The prescriber opted to transition the member to a generic alternative with the same efficacy and clinical evidence.
Savings:
Annual Client Savings: $16,600+
Annual Member Savings: $84
