PharmCare Trends report
PharmaCare Trends reports expenditures in terms of paid claims and beneficiaries. It is about trends – information is a year old. Current information can be requested. Since it focuses on what PharmaCare pays out, stats about such things as number of Special Authority requests, PharmaNet transactions, or funding of the PharmaCare program, are not in scope.
