PBM contracts are becoming increasingly risky for employers due to new regulatory changes. Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) have long operated with opaque contracts that make it difficult for companies to understand their financial responsibilities. As legislation moves to impose fiduciary duties on PBMs, the onus is shifting to employers to prove that their PBMs are acting in the best interests of their employees. This shift creates a legal vulnerability, as many employers struggle to interpret the complex terms of these contracts.
RootTrust, a new AI-powered platform, aims to simplify this issue by analyzing PBM contracts and providing a clear risk assessment. It translates dense legalese into understandable risk scores and highlights problematic clauses. RootTrust offers multiple revenue models, including subscriptions for consulting firms and one-time analysis fees for self-insured employers. Their go-to-market strategy includes free tools to attract leads and educational webinars with consulting firms.
RootTrust differentiates itself by acting as an independent auditor rather than competing directly with PBMs like OptumRx and Express Scripts. Its advantage lies in accumulating data from analyzed contracts, enhancing its AI's ability to identify risky language over time. With increased regulatory scrutiny and the imminent demand for contract validation, RootTrust is positioned to address a pressing need in the market. The technological framework will leverage Python for backend development, using libraries for text extraction and a hybrid approach combining rule-based engines with advanced AI to identify problematic clauses effectively.
