For the past eight years, AIS has been surveying pharmacy benefit management companies of all kinds and compiling the results to track trends in this volatile industry. Trends revealed by this survey include the growth of mail-order pharmacy and generic utilization, as well as the emergence of specialty pharmacy as a new cost category and the three-tiered pharmacy benefit as the industry standard.

From time to time, excerpts from these exclusive survey results have been published in Drug Benefit News. But now, the full results and analyses are available, in a single handy reference, to anybody who needs a thorough understanding of the pharmacy benefit industry and how it has evolved.

Who are the players? What services do they offer? What benefit designs and formulary structures do they promote? What cost trends have they experienced?

2000-2007 Survey Results: Pharmacy Benefit Trends & Data is a valuable book and CD resource that features the complete results — plus analyses — from all quarterly surveys from the first quarter of 2000 through the second quarter of 2007. That’s 30 surveys over eight years, resulting in a book featuring hundreds of pages of tables, graphs, charts, directories and listings developed from survey results!

When you purchase Pharmacy Benefit Trends & Data and its accompanying free CD, you’ll get:

Hundreds of charts, tables and graphs developed from various data fields in the survey. (See the full list of survey fields.)
A complete directory of PBMs, PBAs, SPPs and related companies with company descriptions, business volume metrics and contact names.
All the raw survey data in spreadsheet form — published in the book and in Excel files on the accompanying CD.
Information from various other AIS research efforts that pertain to the pharmacy benefit, including our annual surveys of:

Medicaid pharmacy directors from 2002 to 2007 — with articles, analysis and more raw data, and
Managed care organizations (MCOs) — with data on their annual drug spend for their entire books of business.

Since 2000, results of AIS’s quarterly survey have been used by: health plans … to set copay levels for their drug plans, and to determine which PBM vendors and programs are effective in managing pharmacy costs; PBMs … to compare performance benchmarks with their competitors; financial industry analysts … to gain a clear and unbiased view of the competitive PBM and specialty pharmacy industries — on both private and publicly traded companies; and government officials and policymakers … to get insight into the likely impact of prospective mergers and acquisitions, and to help them develop government-run pharmacy programs and identify potential bidders for contracts.
