ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Prime Therapeutics LLC (Prime), a leading pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) with more than 27 million members, will continue its National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) programs in two areas: 1) Health Information Products (HIP) – Pharmacy Benefit Information and 2) Utilization Management.
