“By 2017 or 2018, we’re going to be at that magic tipping point between 50% specialty [pharmacy] spend and 50% traditional [pharmacy] spend. If we combine the costs, that’s roughly going to be $40 [per member per month]. That’s quite alarming….It’s really a tectonic shift in the way that pharmacy benefits will be managed over the next three or four years.”
— Peter Wicksersham, senior vice president, cost of care, for Prime Therapeutics LLC, speaking at the recent 2013 Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute’s Drug Benefit Conference.
