What Is a Clawback?
What Is a Clawback?

In your drugstore, the term “clawback” may mean that using insurance to pay for certain generic drugs could end up costing you more than the cash price of the medication. For instance, a prescription for amoxicillin may cost $166 instead of the cash price of $92, if you use insurance.

And drug stores such as CVS have no incentive to tell you about the price difference. That’s because Pharmacy Benefit Managers, who serve as the intermediaries between insurance companies and pharmacy chains, negotiate prices and receive a portion of the pharmacy’s sales. This is know as a clawback.

Customers are left paying the negotiated amount, even if that amount exceeds the price of the drug without insurance.
