Larger employers that are fully insured should start with a self funded feasibility analysis. There are significant savings with a self funded model because of the elimination of certain taxes and fees, pharmacy overhead and administration.
Benchmarking
Unify your HR and finance departments with clear goals and objectives. What is the purpose of your benefit program? Where do you want to be in comparison to your peers of like size, geographic location or industry? Where is your current cost in alignment with your peers? Our benchmarking analysis will allow you to easily make those decisions and define ongoing monitoring of your benefit program.

Drug Utilization Review
By preventing medication misuse, Costco clients will realize definitive, measurable savings. Costco Health Solutions uses three methods of drug utilization review (DUR) to ensure medications are used properly and within normal ranges: Prospective (PDUR), Concurrent (CDUR) and Retrospective (RDUR).
- The Prospective DUR program (PDUR) involves the evaluation of a patient’s drug therapy before a medication is dispensed. This process enables the pharmacist to identify and resolve problems before the patient has received a medication.
- The Concurrent DUR program (CDUR) provides clinical monitoring of prescription drugs at the point of sale. The DUR system is designed to encourage cost-effective, high-quality drug therapy at the point of sale by notifying pharmacists of potential drug therapy complications before prescriptions are dispensed.
- The Retrospective DUR program (RDUR) serves as a physician and pharmacist resource for improving and coordinating drug therapy for their patients. The overall goal is to provide an integrated approach to ensure that effective and safe medication treatments are delivered with optimal medical and economic value.
Drug Therapy
Our programs are accredited by URAC and offer high-risk populations a full range of disease intervention services. The goal of these programs is to provide an integrated approach to ensure that safe and effective drug therapy treatments are delivered with optimal medical and economic value.
Costco Health Solutions includes many high-performing clinical programs as standard.
All drug utilization management program communications provide actionable information to prescribers, members and pharmacists.
