Preferred pharmacy network : ウィキペディア英語版 | Preferred pharmacy network Preferred pharmacy network is a group of pharmacies which involves a prescription drug plan that selects a group of preferred pharmacies, which likely include pharmacies willing to give the plans a larger discount than other pharmacies. Consumers are then able to choose between preferred or non-preferred pharmacies. Those who choose the preferred pharmacies then save money in the form of lower copayment. ==Cost savings==
A study released by Visante in January 2013 found that the greater use of "preferred" and "limited" pharmacy networks could save taxpayers $115 billion over the next 10 years on prescription drug costs. Many networks offer savings through discount card programs. According to a report on this new study in The Hill, "embracing these models would save Medicaid, Medicare and commercial plans $26 billion, $35 billion and $54 billion, respectively, over the next decade." However, real-world comparisons of costs between preferred pharmacy networks and non-preferred pharmacy networks (or “open” pharmacy networks) are not as clear. In 2013 the U.S. government’s (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services )(CMS) (examined ) preferred pharmacy network prescriptions and found that “prices are sometimes higher in certain preferred networks” for Medicare and, therefore, taxpayers. Ultimately, CMS concluded that it could not confirm the hypothesis that preferred network pharmacy prices are lower than non-preferred network pharmacy prices.
