About SouthernScripts:

SouthernScripts was developed by pharmacists because there was a vital need for a 100% transparent/pass-through pharmacy benefit manager. After thirty-four years in retail pharmacy, Nolton Causey, RPh, had seen plenty of traditional PBM abuse to members, pharmacies and the community. Discussions with LIPA, Louisiana Independent Pharmacies Association, led to the realization that there was a major Fraud Waste and Abuse issue occurring with PBMs and people should be advised to seek other alternatives. However, after searching for a solution to this problem, there was the realization that there was no alternative to the typical PBMs abusing the system.

To solve this problem, Nolton, daughter LeAnn, and son-in-law Steve, decided to create their own different kind of pharmacy benefit manager. Today, SouthernScripts turned five (5) years old!
SouthernScripts is a national pass-through Prescription Benefit Manager providing services for 10’s of thousands of employees located in 38 states nationwide. Our clients are all self-insured and we assist them with the managing responsibilities of providing prescription benefits for their employees. In 2011 these responsibilities initially included access to a nationwide pharmacy network, integration with insurance carriers and third party administrators, and prescription cost saving strategies. In 2015, SouthernScripts strategically aligned with Employers Health Network Holding Company which increased our foot front across the country and now allows us to assist employers on a broader basis. Currently, we are providing employers access to high performance narrow physician networks, state-of-the-art data analytics, access to pass-through pricing for medical claims. Ultimately, our goal is to assist employers to understand the complexities and the opportunities in the self-insured market and help them make the best decision for their company.

The City of Natchitoches, Sabine Bank & Trust, and the Natchitoches Regional Medical Center have supported Southern Scripts during our initial years and we would like to publicly thank them for that ongoing support. Here are a few statistics about SouthernScripts:
