Express Scripts Moves to Exclude Drugs From National Formulary
From the article:
Express Scripts has for the first time decided to exclude a few dozen drugs from its preferred formulary. The leading pharmacy benefits manager, or PBM, took the decision in a bid to counter steadily rising prices for brand-name medications, the increasing use of co-pay cards and continually narrowing formularies elsewhere.
the new move will impact about 780,000 people in total, approximately 2.6% of the 30 million people served by the PBM. Miller pointed out that the company arrived at the decision not out of purely economic reasons alone, but also in a bid to bring down net costs and maintain market share.
NOT A PURELY ECONOMIC REASON ???? just to bring down net costs and MAINTAIN MARKET SHARE !!
Do they really think that we believe this BULLSHIT ?
