Pharmaceutical Care Network

Pharmaceutical Care Network (PCN) was a pharmacy benefit management (PBM) company that provided prescription drug programs and administrative services to health plans, self-insured employers, and government entities. Founded in 1984 by the California Pharmacists Association, the company focused on managing pharmacy costs and improving clinical outcomes through formulary management, claims processing, and clinical oversight. Headquartered in Sacramento, California, PCN established itself as a significant regional player in the PBM space. In 2005, the company was acquired by MedImpact Healthcare Systems, which integrated PCN's operations to expand its service offerings and market reach.
