🌍 Case Study Example: Driving Real Savings Through Logistics & Sourcing Optimization

Official

/

At ExhaleRx, we work with multiple self-funded plans and PBM-aligned groups facing a similar challenge:

πŸ‘‰ A small group of medications accounting for a disproportionate share of total spend

This is one recent example that reflects what we consistently see across plans.

The primary cost drivers included:

πŸ’‰ Lupron Depot
πŸ’‰ Stelara
πŸ’‰ Ozempic
πŸ’‰ Trulicity
πŸ’‰ Xolair
πŸ’Š Jardiance
πŸ’Š Farxiga
πŸ’Š Xarelto
πŸ’Š Glyxambi
πŸ’Š Entresto
πŸ’Š Otezla
πŸ“Ÿ Dexcom G7 Sensors
πŸ’‰ Semglee
πŸ’Š Xigduo XR
πŸ’Š Dificid
πŸ’Š Paxlovid

Alongside continued utilization of high-cost biologics:


Humira | Enbrel | Skyrizi | Tremfya | Cosentyx | Rinvoq | Dupixent

⚠️ The Common Problem

Across plans, we typically see:

πŸ“ˆ Per-script costs exceeding $20,000
πŸ“ˆ Increasing demand across GLP-1 and specialty medications
πŸ“ˆ Pricing inconsistencies between suppliers
πŸ“ˆ Limited transparency into true acquisition cost

βš™οΈ The ExhaleRx Model

βœ… The Result (Typical Outcome)

πŸ’‘ The Reality Across Plans

This isn’t a one-off result β€” it’s a repeatable model.

Most plans try to reduce costs by limiting access.
We focus on optimizing how medications are sourced, handled, and delivered β€” where the biggest inefficiencies exist.

That’s where ExhaleRx consistently delivers results. πŸš€
