The Challenge of Specialty Medication Costs

In today's healthcare landscape, rising prescription costs pose a significant challenge for self-funded groups and the brokers who serve them. Specialty medications, which treat complex or rare conditions, now account for over 50% of total drug spend despite representing only 2% of prescriptions.

How Brokers Can Make a Difference

As a benefit advisor, you're tasked with finding creative Rx cost containment strategies. Yet many approaches burden members with high deductibles, steep co-insurance, or medication exclusions — forcing employees into tough choices between essentials and treatment.
