Excelsior Solutions, LLC: Pharmaceutical Consulting

Your consultant should be as transparent as you expect your vendors to be.

Excelsior Solutions helps health plans, managed care organizations and other healthcare payers better understand
the pharmacy benefit management (PBM) marketplace, leverage better PBM vendor arrangements, identify
additional opportunities for cost savings, and develop sound strategies that will keep pace with the dynamic marketplace.

We are the only pharmaceutical consulting firm that exclusively serves managed care clients. Therefore, we are able
to make suggestions not previously considered. For example, because managed care organizations have the advantages
of integrated data and often times must adhere to different government regulations, their cost saving options differ
greatly from those of Self Insured or Taft Hartley plans. Excelsior understands these differences and advises accordingly.
Our unique positionas third party evaluators allows us to offer impartial advice and effective solutions.

We specialize in managing or creating:

• Customized medication management solutions
  
• Outpatient prescription benefit management (“PBM”) programs
  
• Medical pharmacy (physician-administered) medications
  

Excelsior Solutions helps our clients improve relationships with their current vendors. But when that is not possible, we have the expertise and resources to facilitate a change—if necessary.

We provide the responsiveness, flexibility and cost-effectiveness you deserve from a consulting firm. Moreover, because our principals are seasoned professionals of PBMs that specialize in knowing health plans, we are uniquely qualified to predict, measure, and manage our clients’ risk while saving them money.

Excelsior Solutions is built around these core principles:

• Capitalize on existing relationships, and help our clients do the same
  
• Offer top-notch, experienced consulting talent
  
• Continue to enhance our thriving PBM practice
  
• Leverage and integrate other healthcare solutions to reduce risk for our customers
  
• Maintain a high level of integrity and complete transparency in all aspects of our consulting practice

We are the fair and impartial mediator between our clients and their PBM firms.
