PBIRx, Inc. is proud to announce that Patricia Sirowich has been named to The Hartford Business Journal Power 25 Healthcare list, which identifies leaders who have had a significant impact on the industry and public health. Sirowich is the founder and president of PBIRx, the premier consultant firm in the pharmacy benefit industry, providing individualized consulting and auditing services for more than 30 years.
“I am pleased to be recognized among these healthcare leaders by The Hartford Business Journal,” said Sirowich. “When I started in this industry in 1987, pharmacy benefits represented 4% of health care dollars. Now, depending on the demographics, it represents up to 40% of health care dollars and is the most utilized and valued benefit to members. Soaring drug costs and growing demands for greater pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) accountability are increasingly driving employers to seek expert guidance. PBIRx delivers average plan savings of 18-22% annually for our client partners.”
PBIRx is a market leader in the pharmacy benefit industry with vast experience working with Fortune 100 companies, large and small employers, unions, hospitals, municipalities, managed health care plans, coalitions, and third-party administrators. In 1993, Sirowich founded PBIRx to combat increased pharmacy costs and the lack of transparency for plan sponsors. Under Sirowich’s leadership, PBIRx provides expertise in all areas of the pharmacy benefit, from identifying specialty drug savings opportunities to advising in contract negotiations. Before founding PBIRx, she was one of the founders of Express Scripts, contributing to the growth of what is now the largest pharmacy benefit management organization in the country.
“As a woman with decades of experience in the pharmacy benefit sector,” said Sirowich, “I bring a wealth of knowledge and am beyond proud of the diverse team of experts, including Doctors of Pharmacy, Clinicians, Analysts, Account Consultants, Support Specialists, IT and Legal, whom I personally interview, hire, and mentor. PBIRx wants intelligent, experienced people, eager to learn on a continuum, who care, are ethical and service oriented, and who respect the importance of each client and their fiduciary responsibilities to their plan and their members. We believe in diving in the weeds, constantly looking for savings solutions based on each client’s culture and needs, all of which has contributed to PBIRx’s success and the success of our client partners.”
