The model contract has no exhibit that names the PBM owners, affiliates, GPOs, rebate aggregators and owned pharmacies. Nautilus scored conflict of interest 70 of 100 for that omission.\n- DATA, plan sponsor owns all plan data (weight 4). Sole ownership of claims, eligibility, accumulator, rebate and derived data, delivered in machine readable form, with no reuse or sale by the PBM.\n- LNC, lowest net cost standard and book of business comparison (weight 3). A stated lowest net cost standard for formulary decisions and an annual comparison against the PBM whole book of business.\n\nTwo further additions split out protections that version 1 folded into broader items:\n\n- CASH, cash price protection and deductible credit (weight 3). Members never pay more than the cash price, every cash purchase counts toward the deductible and out of pocket maximum, and accumulator adjustments require a sponsor election. Section 3.4 moves here from CEIL, which now covers only the Section 3.3 benchmark ceiling.\n- ENF, self executing enforcement and two strikes exit (weight 3).
