Walmart Health & Wellness Employer Solutions Group
Walmart is now using its buying power and distribution expertise to help employers save money on their prescription drug benefits and vision programs.
Prescription Drug Savings:
For large employers that self-insure their health plan, Walmart can reduce the cost that employers pay for prescription drugs. With this new program, large employers can often save about 35% on generic drugs and, in many cases, savings on brand drugs can also be realized. It is easy to implement and does not require the employer to change its Pharmacy Benefit Management company (PBM) or limit its network.
Vision Program Savings:
Walmart’s Opti-Direct program allows you to provide your employees with a vision program without the hassle and expense of paying vision insurance premiums.
Prescription Safety Eyewear:
If you subsidize prescription safety eyewear for your employees, you can pay less at Walmart. In fact, basic safety frames and single vision lenses cost about 75% less at Walmart Vision centers than they do through some other safety eyewear providers.
