We've taken a leadership role in tackling the cost of prescription drugs, and we're seeing results. For example, Highmark members taking abiraterone acetate, which is used to treat prostate cancer, are saving an average of $90 per month in out-of-pocket expenses for the medication through Highmark’s role with CivicaScript and a select specialty pharmacy. Since this lower cost generic became available in September 2023, savings for our members, customers and the health plan have approached $3 million — and that's just on one drug. Learn more about our initiative to lower costs and increase access to generic medications below.
Congratulations Team!!
Kudos to the Highmark team for making a tangible impact on the lives of patients and customers. Looking forward to hearing about more great work!
