The market dominance of government-based healthcare coverage in Puerto Rico is driving managed care organizations to cover more generic drugs as fewer residents can afford more expensive plans, according to a recent report released by Mass.-based healthcare industry analyst firm Decision Resources Group.
Since its enactment by the federal government in 2010, the Affordable Care Act has already saved more than 45,000 Medicare beneficiaries in Puerto Rico a total of $111.4 million on the cost of prescription drugs, Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi said Sunday.
Triple-S Management Corporation, Puerto Rico’s largest managed care company announced Wednesday consolidated revenue of $623 million and operating income of $24.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
