Are you overpaying for your employees' prescriptions?

Statistically, yes. Most plans are marked up 15–25%.
Legally, it's now your problem — under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, you have a fiduciary duty to stop it.

The Problem

Your PBM keeps the difference.

They negotiate cheap prices with pharmacies — then bill you full price. It's called spread pricing. Exposed by the FTC, the New York Times, and the U.S. Congress.

What the drug actually costs $12
What your PBM charges you $47
Per employee, per year $4,200

For a 500-person company, that's over $2 million in hidden markups. Since Lewandowski v. J&J, employers who don't audit face fiduciary liability.

This isn't our opinion. It's the public record.

The New York Times
“P.B.M.s often charge employers multiple times the wholesale price of a drug, keeping most of the difference…”
Investigation, June 2024
★★★★★
“I've been in HR for 20 years and never once questioned our PBM pricing. This should be mandatory for every self-insured employer.”

Common Questions

Before you ask

Is my data safe?

We only need de-identified claims data — no employee names, no member IDs. Your IT team can strip those columns before sending. We also sign a BAA on request.

What does this cost?

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency: a percentage of the savings we identify. If we find nothing, you pay zero.

What if you don't find anything?

Then you have written confirmation that your PBM pricing is fair — which is valuable in itself. You owe us nothing.

Am I legally required to audit my PBM?

Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act (2021), self-insured employers have a fiduciary obligation to ensure pharmacy benefit costs are reasonable. An independent audit is the simplest way to demonstrate compliance.
