A new era for pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers is here and it’s far from business as usual.

As competition encroaches on the traditional healthcare sector and online giants, Cognizant helps retail, specialty and mail order pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) rethink their business models. We can help you deliver targeted, personalized services in innovative ways, to gain a new competitive advantage in a changed world.
