Read this before quoting the number

• The city prints total health claims but not a pharmacy line, so the pharmacy share is borrowed from DFW cities that print both. That share is labeled as a peer figure below.

What would make this firmer

• A pharmacy claims line in the adopted budget or annual financial report.

The rate is a pricing improvement one city reported, not a promise. Rebates, plan design and utilization move the real number. The model contract this platform scores against is attributed to Mark Cuban; nothing here implies his endorsement of any city or vendor.
