The Catalyst

Jeffrey Kluever

In my June column I announced the new and transformative pharmacy benefit management partnership with Navitus. With the agreement now finalized, I would like to update you on some exciting developments related to this newest employer solution offering from our organization.

Informative Meetings

On July 10 and 11 we conducted three meetings for brokers/consultants and employers to learn more about this exciting new partnership. The meetings were highlighted by rave reviews for Navitus from two prominent Navitus clients along with presentations by Navitus staff. Attendees were provided valuable information about the unique business model Navitus employs.

The new model changes the industry for employers by featuring complete transparency and the pass through of 100% of rebates and all manufacturer monies, while Navitus derives its only revenue through an administrative fee. These aligned objectives yield the lowest net costs in the industry.
