Returning a serve is quite possibly one of the most important shots in tennis. You may not have control over the location, trajectory or speed of the ball coming from your opponent, but there are some things you can do to take control of the game. This analogy easily can be applied to the pharmacy benefits arena

Recently, pharmaceutical companies have continued to raise prices and responded by making significant changes to manufacturer assistance programs, which make plan success more difficult to achieve. Now is the time to return the ball and change the course of the game.
