U.S. Pharmacy Benefit Management Market by CVS Health; Aetna; Express Scripts; Cigna; OptumRx, Inc.; Walgreens Booth Alliance and Others

The U.S. Pharmacy Benefits Management Market size is projected to reach USD 744.6 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period. Increasing vertical integration of key market players, rising prevalence of chronic disease, and shrinking FDA generic-approval backlog are some of the primary growth stimulants for the market.

Vertical integration of pharmacy benefits management (PBM) organizations with health insurance companies are poised to result in increased control of PBMs over distribution systems. This will lead to rise in rebates, ultimately increasing the cost of drug list prices. Moreover, it will result in a monopoly of certain market player, concentrating sales and revenue generation.

The business of insuring and administering employee benefit programs in the country, especially, health care programs, is heavily regulated by federal and state laws and administrative agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), State Departments of Insurance, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Internal Revenue Services, and Departments of Labor.

All PBM businesses in the U.S. must include home delivery and specialty pharmacies licensed as pharmacies in the states of establishment. Several states in the country regulate the scope of prescription (Rx) drug coverage and delivery channels to receive drugs for managed care organizations (MCOs), insurers, and Medicaid care plans. Certain home delivery and specialty pharmacies must be registered with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and individual state controlled substance authorities.
