PBM Consulting That Works

Wilkinson Benefit Consultants Your Partner In Success

Welcome to Wilkinson Benefit Consultants. We want to be your partner in helping reduce the cost of providing pharmacy benefits to your plan members. Our independent advisory services remain an objective resource for representing the best interest of our clients. This means exceeding your expectations, including maintaining quality benefits, providing the highest level of safety and delivered with the greatest cost reduction available. Experience, expertise and advanced analytics offer you the most comprehensive review in our industry, making plan evaluation, benefit design, vendor search, plan negotiation and contracting an effective and cost-efficient process.

Wilkinson Benefit Consultants works for the exclusive benefit of our clients and their plan members. Unlike the vast majority of our competitors, we do not maintain commission contracts with any PBM that we would be evaluating on behalf of our client. We believe this would represent an inherent conflict of interest, yet many firms embrace this business conduct, and too frequently, without disclosure to their clients.

We welcome an opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities in assisting you to meet your pharmacy benefit objectives.
