PBM / VENDOR CONTRACT & PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Practical review support for PBM and vendor arrangements
Why Redline Exists
The gap between what was promised and what the contract says
Most plan sponsors sign a PBM or vendor contract and move on. The implementation gets handled, the program goes live, and day-to-day operation takes over. Months or years later, something doesn't look right — a number doesn't reconcile, a guarantee appears to have missed, a report doesn't match the contract language.
At that point, most plan sponsors don't have the internal resources to evaluate what's happening or whether it matters. And most vendors aren't inclined to raise their hand when something isn't working in the client's favor.
Redline exists to close that gap — providing a focused, practical review of the arrangement from the client's side, using the contract as the starting point for every question.
