Acquisitions have also torn the sector apart. Like, when I started in PBM in 2000, we were Advance PCS. A merger between Advance Paradigm and PCS Health. Then, Advance PCS merged w Caremark in 2004. Then... Caremark PCS merged with CVS in 2007 to create CVS Caremark. Many here use Caremark PCS as your prescription benefit manager. With every merge, customers fell into a black hole and had less choices re: formularies, pharmacy network and coinsurance/copay structure etc. At the time, Merck Medco was the biggest competition.
