Evergreen Rx Becomes AHIP Solutions Partner
Firm Delivers Cost-Savings Through Unique PBM Management

Evergreen Rx, the pharmacy consulting practice of Evergreen Re Incorporated, has become an America’s Health Insurance Plans’ (AHIP) Solutions Partner. As an AHIP Solutions Partner, Evergreen Rx will participate in a strategic marketing alliance with the national association which represents 1,300 health plans and insurers, providing health insurance coverage to more than 200 million Americans.

Using proprietary analytical tools and processes, Evergreen Rx’s pharmacy consultants will help AHIP member plans evaluate, analyze and improve cost performance of their current Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) program. Additionally, members will be able to take advantage of Evergreen Rx’s process as a powerful negotiating tool to secure and then maintain the most cost-effective, quality PBM programs available.

According to Charles Crispin, President and CEO of Evergreen Re, “We are pleased to join with AHIP in this joint effort that enables us to market our managed pharmacy services to their members. With our unique approach to PBM management, Evergreen Rx is helping to save our clients more than $3 per claim, without any changes in member contribution or formulary. Three dollars per claim savings on a commercial or Medicaid membership plan equates to $2.50 per member, per month. For Medicare membership, the savings is much greater.”

AHIP's goal is to provide a unified voice for the health insurance industry, to expand access to high quality, cost effective health care to all Americans, and to ensure American's financial security through robust insurance markets, product flexibility and innovation, and an abundance of consumer choices.

Evergreen Rx is the pharmacy consulting practice of Evergreen Re, the nations’ largest HMO reinsurance broker, providing risk-reduction products and services that improve predictability and financial performance for managed care organizations and other large plan sponsors with members in 45 states. Evergreen Re has offices in Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
