LEHI, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xevant, a leader in pharmacy benefits analytics, today announced the release of a new white paper: “Cracking Open the PBM Black Box: Unlocking Transparency and Partnership with VerX.” The report explores the challenges faced by traditional pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) models and highlights how VerX is helping plan sponsors and PBMs align around data-driven insights to improve cost management and Performance.

Evolving Challenges in the PBM Model

The white paper notes that while PBMs play a critical role in managing prescription drug benefits, longstanding complexities in pricing, rebate flows, and contract structures can make it difficult for plan sponsors to fully understand the true net cost of medications.

Among the common challenges:

• Limited access to real-time data that hinders proactive decision-making
• Complex pricing structures across retail, mail, and specialty channels
• Formulary alignment that may not always maximize value for patients and payers

Without timely insights, opportunities for optimization often remain undiscovered until renewal periods.

By delivering claim-level transparency and actionable insights, VerX enables stakeholders to identify opportunities and take action sooner.
