Our Medical Pharmacy Trend Report is one of a kind

15th edition now available!

Over the past 15 years, Prime Therapeutics (Prime) has seen the medical pharmacy category grow substantially. Advancements in research and technology have caused drug approvals to surge. And, while these new drugs have had a massive impact on the health and well-being of many patients with chronic or rare diseases, they can come with very high price tags.

Prime’s Medical Pharmacy Trend Report is the only one of its kind to pair health plan claims data and survey data showing payers’ top concerns when it comes to medical benefit drug management. Topics include trend and spend across commercial, Medicaid and Medicare — along with in-depth analysis of top spend disease categories, insights from our payer survey, and more. 

2009 to 2024 – 15 years of claims and change 

  • Considerable impacts from the introduction of biosimilars 
  • Explosive rise in gene therapies 
  • Advances in oncology treatment driving spend
  • Rising drug costs, with 2024's most expensive drug priced 936% higher than the priciest drug in 2009
