In this episode, Michael introduces you to Mindi Fynke, President and CEO of Employee Health Insurance Management (EHiM). Join us as we discuss EHiM’s unique service-oriented PBM model and how they can effectively lower an employer-sponsored health plan’s drug spend.

Here’s a glance at what we discuss in this episode:

• Mindi Fynke’s clinical experience and why she founded EHiM
• How rebates from drug manufacturers are intended to move market share and the act of taking rebates from drug manufacturers can be a misaligned incentive and contribute to increased healthcare costs
• How EHiM seek to address pharmacy waste in an employer’s sponsored health plan’s drug spend with custom formulary design and clinical programs for each client’s unique demographics and claims
• The conflict of interest that may exist when PBM’s own their own specialty pharmacies
• EHIM’s book of business Specialty Trend is 6% relative to National Specialty Trend of 18%

• The difference between a traditional PBM’s customer service and EHiM’s patient advocacy model
• How EHiM competes in the market without receiving or offering drug manufacturer rebates, driving savings of 20% -30% in overall drug spend
• Examples of misaligned incentives in formulary design that can be costly to the employer and how EHiM can customize many components in Pharmacy Benefit Administration (Network, Formulary, Plan Design, Clinical Programs) to “move market share” towards lower cost alternatives
• EHiM’s transparent fee structure options
• EHiM’s ability to provide performance guarantees based on actual employer net spend vs “discount guarantees”
