CaptureRx, a pharmacy benefits manager based in San Antonio, tapped Billy Tauzin as a board member and the company's chief industry relations officer.
Tauzin, 68, is the former president and CEO of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and a former congressman, according to a CaptureRx news release. A spokesperson said he would divide his time between Texas and Washington.
“Both clients of CaptureRx, a valued corporate member of our association, and the entire 340B community will be lifted by having someone of Mr. Tauzin's stature in our corner,” William von Oehsen, president of the Safety Net Hospitals for Pharmaceutical Access, the trade group representing hospitals that participate in the 340B drug discount program, said in a statement.
The majority of CaptureRx's members include community health centers, safety net facilities and hospitals.
Tauzin will be involved in identifying best practices and standardization of processes and reporting, and building relationships with managed care and federal and state agencies, according to a news release.
