As part of our ongoing commitment to plans and members, we are retiring a selection of SafeGuardRx programs and components to focus our resources on those that demonstrate the strongest measurable impact for clients and members.

What you need to know:

Effective January 1, 2026, the following key changes will take place:

HIV Care Value® Program

In 2024, HIVCV contributed less than 1% of the overall value that plans received from SafeGuardRx. This program will be retired, and we will continue to support at-risk members through other patient-centric nonadherence solutions within our organization.

Pulmonary Care Value ProgramSM

In recent years, utilization has shifted from brand-name medications to more affordable generics and average manufacturer price caps have also reduced the cost of several drugs included within the program. As these market changes have organically solved most of what PCV was designed to address, this program will also be retired.

Specialty Adherence ProtectionSM Program

After a careful review of outcomes and performance, we’ve decided to sunset this program. We remain committed to improving patient adherence and do so through the following specialty programs: Inflammatory and Atopic Conditions Care ValueSM, Multiple Sclerosis Care Value ProgramSM, Oncology Care Value Program® and Rare Conditions Care Value® Program.

Weight Management Care Value® Program

The 120-day threshold for discontinuation credit will be removed to remain consistent with other programs within the platform. Plans will receive discontinuation credits per month per 30-day prescription for a total of 90 days if a member falls off therapy. Early discontinuation rates will be revised as part of an ongoing commitment to platform organization.

Effective December 20, 2025 (as previously communicated in November 2024)

BCR-ABL genetic testing for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia will no longer be included in the Oncology Care Value Program due to low utilization.
