Choose a partner who understands pharmacy benefits and can meet your needs with a variety of purpose-built solutions

Scale to meet client needs, reduce effort, and realize proactive patient care

Pharmacy benefits management (PBM) is a time-consuming investment of resources that cannot be avoided yet can rarely be tamed. Data generated across disparate systems and the availability and integration of medical with pharmacy claims and Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are difficult, yet valuable. Call center agents tasked with communicating information with members are challenged to provide timely information, even as long wait times frustrate callers and create member abrasion.

What’s more, the daily grind of processing claims, managing networks, and managing utilization have caused business and IT leaders to seek new ways of achieving efficiencies. Digital and data-led solutions might work, but false starts can be expensive, and few remedies exist with partners that truly understand the industry.

With the call for transparency continuing to rise and regulations tightening, time is of the essence. Where can PBMs turn to find the technology and talent necessary to streamline operations, elevate member experience, and improve outcomes? EXL leads the way.

Case study: Established mid-market PBM

Problem

Broken member self-service journeys, lag in member data presented to agents, and unsatisfactory member experience led the client to EXL for help.

Solution

EXL partnered with ALTTRAX, a healthcare consulting firm, to perform a rapid assessment of the client’s contact center, digital assets, tech stack, and outbound communications, leading to a documented roadmap for transformation. Based on plan priorities, EXL helped the client create a single data source with system integrations across the tech stack. This enabled omni-channel communications over a unified desktop for improved agent productivity and member experience.
