Thinking about disaggregating your pharmacy benefits? Look beyond the headlines.

Briefing

Why disaggregation is making headlines

The idea of disaggregating pharmacy benefits is getting a lot of attention. Some health plans are exploring this approach, hoping for more transparency, control and savings. But is it really the best move for you and your members?

Breaking apart pharmacy benefit management (PBM) services sounds promising, but it can add expense and complexity. Managing multiple vendors means more contracts, more portals and more administrative work.* Health plan clients have shared their frustrations around the impact of breaking PBM services into separate parts: it creates more work and responsibility for health plans. And it leads to more confusion, gaps in care and frustrated members.

Why integration matters

When everything works together, things run smoother. Integrated PBM solutions connect the dots — delivering smarter data sharing, coordinated care and streamlined operations. The result? Teams who know your business and deliver lower costs, better health outcomes and simpler member experiences.
