PBMs Must Focus on Quality Patient Care First & Lowering Costs Second, in specialty pharmacy this is more important than ever before.  Though PBMs are most known for the influence they have on prescription drug costs, some firms are increasingly focused on offering high-touch condition management services that give them a more active role in patient care. A special partnership between Ascella Health and Appro-Rx will build upon this philosophy.   “AscellaHealth focuses on maximizing the care of patients and the financial performance of healthcare systems. We take a customized approach for each entity, tailoring our programs and services to their specific needs in order to ensure that institutions generate income and provide high-touch clinical value through our proven cost management strategies.”  Special Guest:  Michael J.
