Case studies
PrintWalgreens Specialty Pharmacy has the flexibility to provide plan-specific solutions to meet the cost-saving goals of payors while providing members with access to prescription medication and support services designed to achieve optimal healthcare. Not a one-size-fits-all model, Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy recognizes that different medications require different approaches based on payors’ needs and priorities. Whether claims are billed under the medical or pharmacy benefit side of the plan, strategic management is key to successfully balancing the unique needs of the plan and its members. These case studies demonstrate how we have successfully implemented cost-saving strategies in a variety of ways.
Case Study 1: Impact of Moving Selected Medications Traditionally Billed Under the Medical Benefit to the Pharmacy Benefit
Case Study 2: Impact of Eliminating Physician “Buy and Bill”
