ROCKVILLE, Md. -- Catalyst Rx, the pharmacy benefit management subsidiary of HealthExtras, Inc. (NASDAQ:HLEX) was recently recertified as a transparent pharmaceutical benefit manager (PBM) by the HR Policy Association. The Company was recognized for meeting or exceeding all requirements set forth

Representing 55 large employers and over 5 million Americans, the HR Policy Association's Pharmaceutical Purchasing Coalition was formed in an effort to make drug prices more understandable and transparent to employer groups and provide employers with the most rigorous level of drug purchasing transparency available in the marketplace. Each year, employers in the coalition formulate a uniform definition of transparency and annually certify organizations that agree to the TIPPS standard.

The recertification comes as a result of Catalyst Rx's long standing commitment to sharing its business practices and transparent, pass-through pricing model. Transparency in pricing provides clients with the assurance that they have a complete understanding of the source of savings they are receiving, and the total price they are paying for Catalyst Rx's services. Catalyst Rx's continued dedication to innovation, efficiency and superior customer service has helped its clients balance the management of pharmacy costs with superior quality of care.

"As an independent organization, Catalyst Rx is able to provide unbiased pharmacy benefit management solutions truly designed with the clients' best interests in mind and are focused on providing the most effective therapy at the lowest net cost," said David Blair, Chief Executive Officer.
