It's unequivocally clear that pharmacy costs are a core concern for employers and HR leaders today, however they're uncertain how to overcome it. According to EBN's 2025 State of Pharmacy Management research, less than a quarter of benefits leaders strongly agree that they fully understand how prescriptions are paid for. HR leaders feel they have very little influence over pharmacy costs, and this lack of awareness is not helping their level of concern.
To proceed forward in a way that supports their business and employees, HR leaders need to get comfortable being uncomfortable and embrace change. Yes, this may mean removing the security blanket that many employees feel they have with their current health plan.
