Sigma Global restates the largest uncontrolled line item in your benefits budget — specialty medications — and returns the difference to your organization. Performance-based. Documented. Built for board-level review.
If your organization is self-insured, specialty medications are almost certainly your fastest-growing benefits cost — and the least examined. Three numbers explain why this deserves a seat at your next budget review.
Fewer than two in a hundred covered members use specialty medications. The exposure is concentrated — which means it is addressable.
That same small group drives roughly half of total pharmacy cost — biologics, specialty respiratory therapies, and GLP-1s leading the way.
GLP-1 medications alone now represent over a tenth of annual claims for the average employer plan — up from under 7% two years ago, and still accelerating.
Sources: industry claims benchmarks; IFEBP employer survey data, 2025. Your verified figures replace these in your analysis.
Sigma Global sources the brand-name specialty medications already in your plan through a licensed Canadian pharmacy partner — at a structurally lower price for the identical product. Nothing about the care changes. Only the cost basis does.
Move the slider to your covered population. The range below is a directional estimate built on published per-covered-life specialty benchmarks — your verified number comes from your actual medications.
Returned to your organization each year, after Sigma Global's performance fee. From spend you are already committed to, on medications your members already take.
Directional only — assumes published specialty-spend benchmarks per covered life and typical medication mix. Verified analysis from your data in 48 hours.
Send your covered population and top specialty medications — or claims data if you have it. We return a documented, drug-by-drug analysis.
Your counsel receives the full documentation package — licensing, dispensing records, cold-chain protocol, regulatory framework — before anything launches.
Eligible members opt in through a secure portal. A licensed pharmacist reviews every prescription. First orders ship within days.
Savings verified against dispensing records and reported monthly. Our fee is calculated only on what is documented.
Any program can promise savings. The question your counsel, your auditor, and your stop-loss carrier will ask is whether the program behind the number holds up. Ours was built for that question.
We source exclusively through a licensed Canadian pharmacy partner in Manitoba — the only Canadian province whose regulator specifically authorizes international prescription fulfillment. One pathway, fully documented, no exceptions for price.
Personal importation from licensed Canadian pharmacies operates under FDA enforcement discretion — a framework with more than twenty years of documented precedent. Every order satisfies its conditions.
Each dispensing record carries 19 documented fields — pharmacist license, drug identification matched to U.S. coding, lot number, expiry — retained for seven years and available to plan sponsors on request.
No compounded medications. No controlled substances. No sourcing outside Canada regardless of price. No order without a valid prescription reviewed by a licensed pharmacist. The boundaries are the program.
No retainers, no implementation fees, no per-member charges, no cost to launch. The program funds itself entirely from the savings it produces.
Sigma Global earns an agreed share of verified savings — and nothing else. The structure is set with you up front, the majority of every dollar stays with your plan, and if verified savings are zero, our fee is zero.
Performance-based by design — we are paid only after your savings are documented and verified
Share what you know — estimates are fine. We return a documented savings analysis specific to your population and medications. No commitment, no contract, no follow-up pressure.
Your custom savings analysis will arrive at the email you provided within 48 hours.
