Employer Pharmacy Solutions (EPS) proposes a very real shift in self-insured pharmacy benefit thinking that will produce tangible savings. EPS applies three key differentiators from the PBMs in the market today:

1-Members enjoy the convenience of receiving mail order prescriptions in just 2-3 business days from our local, overnight pharmacy, resulting in increased mail utilization. This saves employers money by reducing retail prescriptions.

2-The savings generated by increased mail utilization are compounded by our Acquisition Cost Based Pricing for mail prescriptions, especially on generic medications. We pass through the true ingredient cost, direct from wholesalers and manufacturers. We only add a fixed dispensing fee plus shipping to our ingredient cost that not only produces significant savings when compared to traditional pricing models, but is clean, clear and auditable.

3-We pass through actual retail pharmacy charges without any mark-up from our national network of over 64,000 stores, producing savings over traditional PBM pricing. We also pass 100% of rebates on to our clients, providing employers the full financial benefit of rebates. Perhaps even more importantly, this removes any conflict of interest in steering utilization toward more costly medications that pay ample rebates, but actually often increase net costs.

Help Your Employees Achieve Financial Health.
Add a credit union - there's no cost.

Offering a credit union gives your employees access to a better banking option.
Financial stress is the workplace is an issue for many. MetLife's 9(th) Annual Study of Employee Benefits Trends found that 58% of employers state that financial "illness" plays a role in employee absenteeism and 78% said that concerns over financial problems while at work can have a negative impact on employee productivity. And it has been estimated that 15% of workers are experiencing stress from their poor financial behaviors to the extent that it reduces their job productivity.

Credit unions typically provide people with a better deal compared to banks.
Overall, consumers receive significant savings from lower fees and better savings and loan rates by using credit unions. On average, consumers save about $70 a year, and families save more than $130 and that’s just on average. The more people use credit unions, the more they save.

The Philadelphia Group is an independent fiduciary consulting firm with a key founding principle: to be completely independent from any proprietary relationships that would cause any bias or conflict of interest in their recommendations to clients. This true independence allows each client to feel confident that recommendations are made without any of the inherent bias present in so many financial institutions.
Market volatility makes it critical for retirement plan sponsors and fiduciaries to develop and maintain investment due diligence procedures and supporting documentation. The Philadelphia Group will work with the retirement plan committee to develop and maintain the plan's investment strategy, which is codified in an investment policy statement. The result is confidence that your plan's investments are diversified, well managed, and meet the stated objectives of your investment policy statement.
The Philadelphia Group offers various consultation and fiduciary services to its clients:
I. Independent Investment Due Diligence
II. Fee Benchmarking and Analysis
III. Fiduciary Documentation
IV. Education & Communication
Performing these services on a regular basis is essential to documenting compliance with Department of Labor guidelines and minimizing exposure to fiduciary liability.

We help build personal wealth for individuals and families.

Social insurance programs, employer sponsored plans and individual initiatives support personal financial health. Our practice may enable employers to define the parameters that provide retirement saving programs and the platform to deliver them.

Wealth creation is often more about discipline than yield. Although the quantitative factors are important, the education process should provide direction for how much and how often we save. Retirement is often conflicted with other lifestyle priorities. Therefore, plan design and the platform for employer sponsored retirement programs are key to providing value for participants with the limited resources that may be available.

Vendor selection and monitoring the benchmarks for the funds offered in a retirement plan are important priorities. We have developed a process to simplify this for employers and provide continued support. Additionally, helping participants understand their risk tolerance, asset allocation, dollar cost averaging and rebalancing will support their financial decisions.
