Our Mission and Values

The fundamental mission of the Rx Ohio Collaborative (RxOC) is to provide improved value in drug coverage and health care-improvement programs to public-sector employees, retirees and dependents.

In collaboration with its pharmacy benefit manager, Express Scripts Inc., and Ohio-based industry experts — including those at The Ohio State University — the RxOC will act as a "think tank" to improve cost and clinical outcomes through innovation and leveraging collective size. Public sector plan sponsors will have access to the same pricing for prescription drugs as the original participants, as well as innovative prescription drug programs and best-practice information, all while retaining independent decision-making, contracts and plan designs.

Simply put, the RxOC provides the best of both worlds — plan independence and flexibility, plus the benefits of scale and group buying power.
