A Mid-West Business Coalition retained Pharmacy Benefit Consultants to advise the Coalition about weaknesses in its current PBM contract, make recommendations concerning the scope of an upcoming audit, and conduct a RFP to locate a PBM auditor.
A National Energy Lab - operating under a Department of Energy Contract - began a RFP using another consulting firm and, realizing the firm was unable to draft and negotiate a new PBM contract, thereafter retained Pharmacy Benefit Consultants to take over and conclude the RFP.
A Mid-West Insurance Company retained Pharmacy Benefit Consultant’s President, Linda Cahn, to conduct litigation against the insurer’s former PBM concerning wrongful and inaccurate generic pricing and rebate practices.

A Mid-West, Publicly-Traded Company retained Pharmacy Benefit Consultants to terminate its existing contract based on wrongdoing discovered in an audit - unless all identified, material breaches were “cured”, and appropriate compensation was paid - and to negotiate and draft an entirely different form of PBM contract with a replacement PBM
