Express Scripts Holding Company Research Reports

On August 5, 2014, Express Scripts Holding Company (Express Scripts) released the results of a new analysis highlighting that the U.S. health plan sponsors are expected to spend $9.07 billion on specialty medication services in 2015 that provide no additional value. According to the results, this wasteful expenditure can be avoided if payers applied cost-saving techniques from the pharmacy benefit on medications that are administered through the medical benefit. Further, approx. 50% of Specialty medications that treat complex, chronic conditions, are currently billed through the medical benefit, which lacks the visibility and cost control tools of the pharmacy benefit. The results concluded that inefficient U.S. spending on specialty medications in the medical benefit resulted in a waste of $4.87 billion in 2011. In addition, the results indicated that plans that implement Medical Benefit Management services have resulted in 10-15% savings in specialty spending.
