Which one of the following is a purpose of a PBM's disease management program?

A pharmacy benefit manager's (PBM) disease management program is specifically designed to identify patients with chronic conditions. This focus allows PBMs to tailor interventions and support services that aim to improve health outcomes for these patients. By identifying individuals with chronic diseases, PBMs can better monitor treatment efficacy, promote medication adherence, and provide education on disease management strategies. This proactive approach can lead to improved health management and potentially lower healthcare costs associated with the complications of poorly managed chronic conditions.

The other options do not align with the primary objectives of a disease management program. Increasing medication pricing does not serve to enhance patient care or management of diseases. Expanding pharmacy networks may improve access to medications but does not directly relate to managing disease. Reducing copayment amounts could enhance affordability but is not the main goal of disease management initiatives, which focus more on patient identification and support for chronic conditions.
