| A Better Option for Controlling Pharmacy Benefits Costs |
| The Rx Purchasing Coalition was created to provide employers with a value-based purchasing agreement for pharmacy
benefits. After an extensive RFP process, TBGH selected Systemed, L.L.C. as its pharmacy benefits management (PBM) partner. Systemed
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medco Health Solutions, Inc, one of the nation's largest PBMs. Through TBGH's partnership with Systemed,
this purchasing coalition provides much more than good pricing. It gives Participating companies the power to reign in costs over the
short and long term and influence health care providers and consumers in a way that does not sacrifice quality of care. |
| Who is eligible to join? |
 |
Employers with 1,000 or more eligible employees/retirees |
|
Employers that have a self-funded pharmacy benefit or that are willing to self-fund |
|
Participation requires membership in the Texas Business Group on Health, or the DFW Business Group on
Health.* |
| Why was Systemed the Preferred PBM? |
| The Rx Purchasing Coalition chose Systemed because of its: |
|
Extensive experience and demonstrated success servicing clients with 15,000 employees or less |
|
Strong Texas presence employing over 1,400 employees in the state |
|
Commitment to providing benefits at an affordable price |
