Thank you to everyone who joined us for this educational session, which walked through Truveris’ latest approach to benchmarking pharmacy financial performance, including key metrics that strongly influence overall plan health. Using real-world examples, we showed how to interpret these metrics and what to look for when evaluating a PBM contract.
Attendees gained practical insights into common pharmacy benefit metrics, learned where plans may underperform without realizing it, and discovered how benchmarking can help identify areas for further contract review and improvement.
