The Nautilus PBM Procurement,
Contracting & Management Project
A first-of-its-kind initiative delivering free open source procurement tools and resources employers need to make confident, compliant PBM decisions.
The PBM industry is full of complexity, opacity, and misaligned incentives.
We’re building a practical roadmap to help advisors, employers, and fiduciaries redesign pharmacy benefits from the ground up.
From Why to How — and All the Way to Done
The PBM system is broken. You can fix yours. We’ll show you how.
The Nautilus PBM project offers not just insight —
but implementation guidance and resources.
Designed by Experts.
Built for Employers & Advisors.
Contract Smarter. Procure Better. Pay Less.
These tools are built for advisors, employers, and fiduciaries who are done settling.
