“Specialty Pharmaceuticals” is a term that refers to a class of high-cost, mostly injectable medications, including the roughly 700+ new biotech and oncology drugs that are in the pipeline. Though only 1% of the population requires specialty pharmaceutical products, they typically represent 10% of a plan’s total drug spend. Expect both figures to grow. For these reasons, it is essential for plan sponsors to have an effective strategy for managing specialty pharmaceuticals.
