Built for Employers That Carry the Cost
Self-funded employers have direct financial exposure to pharmacy benefit performance, but the information needed to understand that performance is often spread across claims, contracts, PBM reports, rebate statements, and utilization data.
Based in New Mexico, Sandia Rx Analytics is focused on serving employers throughout New Mexico and the Southwest. We provide independent pharmacy benefit reviews for organizations seeking a clearer view of what they are paying for and how their PBM relationship is performing.
Who Is a Good Fit?
Sandia Rx is designed primarily for organizations that fund their own employee pharmacy benefits and want an independent review beyond routine PBM reporting. The strongest fit is an employer with meaningful pharmacy spend, access to its PBM contract and claims information, and a need for greater visibility before a renewal, contract discussion, or benefit decision.
Self-Funded Employers
When an employer funds its own health plan, pharmacy costs ultimately affect the organization's budget.
Sandia Rx helps employers independently examine pharmacy benefit performance rather than relying solely on the PBM's interpretation of its own reporting.
Our services can support finance, human resources, benefits, and plan leadership seeking greater visibility into pharmacy spend, contract performance, utilization, and PBM reporting.
Public & Municipal Employers
Public-sector organizations also face substantial pharmacy benefit costs and may need independent expertise to understand PBM performance, financial arrangements, and the medications driving plan spend.
Sandia Rx can work with qualifying municipalities, public employers, and other self-funded organizations seeking an independent pharmacy benefit review.
