At 7.1% CAGR, U.S. Pharmacy Benefit Manager Market Poised For Steady Growth: MarketResearchReports.biz

Albany, NY , Feb. 17, 2016 -- ‘Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) Market in the US 2015-2019’, a new report that is now available on MarketResearchReports.biz, extensively covers the current scenario and growth prospects of the market with a focus on the United States. The recent healthcare reforms enacted by the American government have led to a greater demand for PBMs. The report expects that the United States pharmacy benefit manager market will register a 7.16% CAGR between 2014 and 2019. 

Pharmacy benefit managers manage tasks related to the processing of prescriptions for insurance companies and other ancillary corporations. While the role of PBMs was previously limited to negotiating contracts with drug manufacturers and pharmacies to avail a rebate on drug prices, their role has evolved remarkably against the backdrop of several regulatory changes that have reshaped the healthcare industry in the United States. Pharmacy benefit managers now find themselves increasingly taking over negotiations and details related to drug benefit aspects of healthcare plans in the United States. Considering the immense regulatory pressure on hospitals and healthcare institutions to curb costs – a scenario that is only worsened by increasing drug prices and healthcare services, the role of PBMs has become important. PBMs, in their capacity as an intermediary between healthcare entities and the payer, help achieve the desired balance.
