Overview
The PBM Assessment Tool is drawn from a subset of eValue8, an evidence-based tool that measures and evaluates pharmacy benefits and health plan performance. It asks probing questions about how PBMs manage critical processes that control costs and improve the health of an employer’s population and highlights vendor performance in key areas such as: efficiency and appropriateness of generics, specialty drugs, outpatient safety and adherence and pharmaceutical management, chronic disease and behavioral health.
Through the results of the tool, plans learn what they need to do to align their strategies with purchaser expectations to maximize the value of the health care investment This tool is a transformational resource to help National Alliance member coalitions lead in improving health and value of health care services in their communities by advancing value-based purchasing.
