The purpose
of this report is to give you an overview of U.S. trends in prescription
drug coverage, plan design, utilization, and drug costs.
Since its creation
in 1995, this report has become an invaluable tool for employers,
trade associations, benefits consultants, pharmaceutical manufacturers,
and legislators.
In addition
to containing much more data than before, these findings are, for
the first time, being reported within the same calendar year as
the survey.
PBMI gratefully

Pharmaceuticals North America (TPNA), Inc. for providing
a grant covering the costs of producing this report.
We hope you find this online report to be a valuable tool as you
design your benefit plans.
