Why Costco Health Solutions?

• Admin fee is all inclusive (clinical programs, reporting, customization, data exchange etc.). No “Junk Fees”!
• The CHS model fully aligns Plan Goals with PBM Goals. Most other PBMs contain a compensation component based on script volume (per script fee) or drug selection (rebates) thus providing an incentive to increase rather than decrease utilization and costs.
• A national network of 65,000 plus pharmacies including all major chains and most independents.
• Highly flexible claims management system. Total flexibility of plan design. No canned plans.
• Flexible formulary to match your needs.
• Fully customizable network.
• CHS owned Mail Order pharmacy locations for faster service.
• CHS owned Specialty Pharmacy.
• Costco Health Solutions is a true “Pass-Through” model PBM. Our sole compensation is an administrative fee with no additional charges. We take no spread on the resale of drugs and pass through 100% of all rebates and any other sources of revenue.
• Full spectrum of clinical cost management programs are included in the standard pricing at no additional cost to our clients.
• Access to Costco Wholesale pharmacies which are well known as the low cost source for prescription medications is encouraged but not required. No Costco membership is required to use Costco pharmacies.
