A major challenge and focus for employers continues to be the substantially higher cost of specialty
medications – biologics and other drugs designed to treat complex medical conditions. Costs
for specialty products are expected to reach 40% of employer pharmacy spend in the next 5-8
years, making it essential that effective strategies, along with plan design, are in place to support
cost management efforts, improve patient outcomes and address employee productivity. At this
