About Us
Against a backdrop of rapidly rising drug prices and confusing market conditions,
HR Policy Association formed the Pharmaceutical Coalition, chaired by Sidney C. Banwart, Vice President, Human Services Division, Caterpillar Inc. The Coalition
is made up of 58 companies within the Association representing more than 5
million lives with collective drug spending of approximately $5 billion. Coalition employers came together to remove the mystery from purchasing pharmacy benefits. They demonstrated the potential of leveraging their buying power
to promote a more transparent model for purchasing and administering pharmaceutical benefits
for employees, retirees, and their dependents.
The Coalition’s Transparency in Pharmaceutical Purchasing Solutions (TIPPS)SM initiative
uses a comprehensive certification process to identify pharmacy benefit managers
(PBMs) willing to meet the Coalition's rigorous transparency standards.
Currently, 13 PBMs have
been certified as meeting TIPPS standards:
Aetna Pharmacy Management
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama
CatalystRx, A HealthExtras Company
CIGNA Pharmacy Management
CVS Caremark
Express Scripts
Humana Pharmacy
Medco Health Solutions, Inc.
Prime Therapeutics LLC
RESTAT LLC
SXC Health Solutions, Inc.
Walgreens Health Initiatives, Inc.
WellPoint NextRx.
TIPPS is only one several projects that the Coalition is developing to inject much needed transparency and value into
our health care system.
