In the intricate landscape of prescription pricing, wholesale pricing stands out as a beacon of affordability and accessibility.

What is wholesale pricing for prescriptions?
Wholesale pricing provides access to discounted prescription rates similar to those available at pharmacies. This allows self-funded organizations to realize substantial pharmacy savings by paying wholesale acquisition costs rather than retail markup on claims. Employee Retention Benefits (ERB) partners with our clients to implement robust wholesale pricing programs.
Wholesale pricing is not a one-size-fits-all solution; it requires a tailored approach to make sure organizations reap the maximum benefits. ERB is committed to this customization, working tirelessly to align the wholesale pricing programs with the unique needs of each self-funded organization. By doing so, ERB ensures the transition to wholesale pricing is smooth and yields the highest possible savings. It’s a meticulous process, but one ERB navigates with expertise and dedication.
How are wholesale rates secured from pharmacies?
We work with organizations called pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), negotiating discounted acquisition costs with major pharmacy chains based on large claim volumes. Our relationships with top PBMs provide access to the most competitive wholesale rates, leveraging nationwide claim leverage.
ERB’s collaboration with Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) is critical to securing wholesale rates. However, it’s not just about negotiation; it’s about building a network standing the test of time and market fluctuations. ERB’s relationship with top PBMs is nurtured and maintained to ensure organizations have access to competitive wholesale rates, irrespective of the changing dynamics in the pharmacy world. This foresight and strategic networking underscore ERB’s commitment to delivering sustainable pharmacy savings.
How are prescriptions dispensed at wholesale prices?
Members can fill prescriptions at any in-network pharmacy as usual. Their ID card contains processing data prompting pharmacists to dispense at previously negotiated wholesale acquisition costs. Members see lower copays while employers save on overall claim reimbursements. Our integrated technology makes obtaining wholesale rates seamless for employees and pharmacists.
Are there limitations on drugs eligible for wholesale pricing?
Outpatient drugs dispensed at in-network pharmacies are broadly eligible. Exceptions include specialty medications dispensed by specific pharmacies, controlled substances, and drugs dispensed in clinical settings. However, we secure wholesale rates on the vast majority of prescription volume, maximizing savings opportunities. Real-time analytics provide full transparency into pricing performance.
