Pharmacy benefit analysis · Self-funded plans

Self-funded plans pay full price. We find where they don't have to.

You carry every pharmacy claim directly: no insurer buffer, no pooled risk. StreamRX shows you where your drug spend has lower-cost options, in a plain-language report your benefits team, CFO, and broker can act on.

— Why it matters

Pharmacy is the fastest-growing line in your health plan

A 10,000-member commercial plan typically spends more than $20 million a year on prescriptions, and GLP-1s keep pushing that higher. Finding even 3 to 5% is real money, often without changing your PBM.

— What we look at

Where your drug spend has lower-cost options

We compare what your plan pays against generic equivalents, therapeutic alternatives, and public price benchmarks, then flag what it would take to act on each one.

  • Generic equivalents

    Same active ingredient, significantly lower cost.

  • Therapeutic alternatives

    Clinically comparable drugs in the same class, reviewed by a pharmacist.

  • Price benchmarks

    What your plan pays compared with public benchmarks, to spot overpayment and markup.

  • Prior authorization

    Which options need a PBM conversation before you can use them.

Pharmacist-reviewed

Every alternative is checked by a pharmacist, backed by a team with 40+ years in pharmacy.

— For brokers & TPAs

Bring sharper pharmacy analysis to every renewal

We work alongside benefits brokers, consultants, and TPAs on analyses for their self-funded clients. You keep the relationship; we bring independent, pharmacist-reviewed findings you can put in front of the client.

  • Brokers & consultants

    Independent pharmacy findings for renewal and RFP conversations.

  • TPAs

    A concrete cost-management service you can offer every self-funded client.

  • Employers

    A clear view of where your drug dollar goes, without changing your advisors.

Decision support, not a mandate. We're an analytics service, not a clinical decision tool. Alternatives that look good on paper may not be right for every member. We surface the options and the tradeoffs; your clinical and benefits advisors make the calls.

Savings estimates are ranges. Actual results depend on your claims mix, PBM contract terms, and rebate arrangements.
