MedImpact wins 2026 PBMI Excellence Award for high-cost generics solution.

MedImpact wins 2026 PBMI Excellence Award for high-cost generics solution. HCG X program provides payers 80.6% PMPQ savings and a 5:1 ROI in year one SAN DIEGO, CA - September 11, 2026 - MedImpact, the nation's largest independent pharmacy benefits and health solutions company, today announced that HCG X(R), a clinically driven solution that delivers significant savings on high-cost generic (HCG) medications, has won the 2026 Pharmacy Benefit Management Institute(R)(PBMI) Excellence Award for Cost Containment. "Despite common misconceptions, not all generic drugs are inexpensive. In fact, some are much more costly than therapeutically equivalent products," said Arpit Patel, Senior Vice President, Trade Relations and Supply Chain. "As specialty drugs and GLP-1s cause pharmacy spend to spiral, our HCG solutions are delivering real savings with little to no member disruption." Using advanced analytics to track prices and claim costs for more than 2,000 drugs, HCG X excludes high-cost generics when there are clinically appropriate, lower-cost alternatives. After just one year using the HCG X program, clients experienced an average of 80.6% reduction in per member per quarter (PMPQ) spend-and greater than 5:1 ROI. One hundred percent of clients reported satisfaction with this solution, citing its value, level of support, and financial impact. "Our HCG solution is another example of our drive to lower costs without compromising access," continued Patel. "And it is further proof that payers shouldn't have to choose between lower costs and quality care." Each year, the PBMI Excellence Awards recognize organizations demonstrating innovation and leadership, and making a measurable impact on the pharmacy benefit management industry. MedImpact was also recognized in 2025 for its MedEmpower Fuel(R) personalized health and wellness app. Keep up to date on the latest in the industry.

MedImpact to present on optimizing pharmacy benefits at MACo Summer Conference. The Maryland Association of Counties announced on July 16 that MedImpact will host a session titled "Optimizing Pharmacy Benefits for Counties" during the Solutions Showcase at its 2026 Summer Conference. The event is scheduled to take place at the Roland Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, Maryland, from August 12 to August 15. According to the announcement, MedImpact's session will address strategies for making pharmacy benefits easier to understand and more cost effective for counties. The session description states, "For most employer-sponsored health insurance plans, pharmacy benefits are the most frequently used and challenging. MedImpact seeks to make these benefits easy to understand and cost effective." It also notes that while pharmacy benefit managers are under scrutiny from mandates affecting Maryland pharmacies and retailers, there may be opportunities within the State of Maryland's current employee benefits contract that could benefit county governments. The Solutions Showcase session is set for August 14 from 12:15 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. Organizers encourage attendees to register for the conference in order to participate in this and other sessions. MACo's Summer Conference theme this year is "Build What's Next."

MedImpact launches GLP-1 Benefit 360 to tackle obesity medication costs with capped pricing

MedImpact, the largest independent pharmacy benefits company in the US, has launched two solutions to manage rising GLP-1 medication costs whilst improving patient access: GLP-1 Benefit 360 and GLP-1 Direct Fund. GLP-1 Benefit 360 offers capped pricing for plans and members, integrated lifestyle support through the MedEmpower Fuel mobile app, and access to registered dietitians. The solution addresses the issue that over half of patients discontinue GLP-1 therapy within three months by providing personalised coaching at no additional cost. The GLP-1 Direct Fund allows healthcare payers to contribute set amounts toward direct-to-consumer pricing, offering members lower out-of-pocket costs whilst protecting plans from unpredictable cost increases. Both solutions bypass traditional high-cost pharmacy models to provide predictable pricing and clinical support.
