Anthem And Eli Lilly Team Up To Find Solution To High Cost Prescription Drugs

Last updated on Wednesday, February 3, 2016

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Two major Indianapolis companies are joining forces to fight high drug prices.

Anthem and Eli Lilly are working together to find a solution to the high cost of prescription drugs.

An Anthem spokesperson says while the rest of the health care system is moving toward paying for value, payments for drugs largely continue to be stuck in a 20th century construct that focuses on price, regardless of the health outcomes of each patient.

The companies say their first goal is to nudge a debate on high cost prescription drugs.
