Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $30,000,000

No contract value is disclosed, but state‑wide PBM contracts for comparable jurisdictions typically range from $10 million to $30 million annually, depending on plan size, rebate negotiations, and service scope. Assuming a 5‑year contract term, total award values could fall between $50 million and $150 million. Factors influencing the estimate include the number of covered lives, anticipated drug spend, rebate recovery mechanisms, and the extent of analytics/reporting services required.
