The Prime difference
Why Prime is different:
Serving communities, not Wall Street
Prime Therapeutics (Prime) is a pharmacy benefit manager collectively owned by not-for-profit Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans, subsidiaries or affiliates of those plans — not outside shareholders. Prime’s incentives are aligned with community-based health plans and patient outcomes rather than Wall Street or outside investors.
That means our focus remains on helping health plans and employers manage costs while supporting patient access to affordable and effective care.

Clinical support that drives better outcomes
Prime connects care management and integrated benefit design to foster care coordination, improve outcomes and lower healthcare costs.

21%
GLP-1 weight management costs for KeepWell participants are 21% lower compared to those not engaged in a care management program.
79%
79% of GLP-1 initiators were adherent to therapy, a 23 percentage-point improvement over those not in a care management program.
