Navigating and understanding government programs in healthcare can be a daunting task.

Per member, per month (PMPM) cost plays a crucial role in healthcare, particularly in pharmacy benefit management. On this episode of the Astonishing Healthcare Podcast, Kristen Begley, PharmD, Chief Commercial Officer at Capital Rx, emphasizes the significance of PMPM guarantees and how they help hold pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) accountable for total drug spend. The PMPM calculation provides a simplified way to evaluate drug spend by dividing the total plan spend by the number of members. This enables plan sponsors and other industry professionals to easily assess the value and effectiveness of their vendors.
