Networks
Using a managed pharmacy network is a key part of an overall cost management strategy. Managed network designs focus on reducing redundancy – not access – and that means payors don’t have to have every pharmacy in their network to provide great access to members. And using a narrow network can help save you money.
Here’s a quick comparison to show how member access can balance with plan savings:
- National Network: Standard offering1
