DpRx Corporation was founded in 1988 by Computer Contractors, Inc., California. Its purpose was to specialize in Drug Benefit online processing at a time when there was only one main frame system. 

The company completed a PBM system and delivered an online service for FHP, Inc., a California Preferred Provider Organization. DpRx managed FHP’s population of 500,000 lives resulting in 200,000+ transactions per month. 

This service saved over $140,000 per month of manual system administrative expense for FHP. The company estimated that the online controls reduced drug ingredient cost by at least 20% (USD$1 million per month). These savings resulted from 90+% elimination of fraud, abuse and over-utilization.

DpRx installed over ten systems for HMOs, PPOs, and PBMs in the 1990s. The largest user managed their own system for a population of over 700,000. 

These TeleCLAIM systems were developed with the most popular operating system and programming languages. Each new client in this time span added requirements and control ideas that were implemented for each that resulted in a diverse and universal system.

DpRx adapted their system to accommodate the needs of Latin American companies in 1997. Farmacia Ahumada, of Santiago, Chile, installed the first Spanish-version TeleCLAIM system to provide local employers an online, managed Drug Benefit program. The second Latin American system was installed in 2001 to accommodate the special needs of a system successfully managing Capitation programs for several Insurance firms

Today, DpRx has completed the development of a new system to replace the earlier legacy TeleCLAIM system. The new system, called TeleCLAIM++, was developed with 21st century system tools. 

The system’s basic design was founded on existing Internet protocols and system tools. The primary premise of TeleCLAIM++ is to perform at maximum efficiency in the Internet environment for a lower operating expense with improved security. Such a system is a major breakthrough in application transparency. The Internet allows instant availability of current status to all parties with virtual elimination of traditional lagging paper reports well after the fact.

DpRx believes that the Internet has revolutionized all world business activity. Real time processing is now the norm. So pervasive is the Internet’s impact on the marketplace that the preponderance of computer and software development is dedicated to the Internet’s needs. 

The era of static computer systems is rapidly diminishing whereby instantaneous status of all business information and transactions are becoming a common and universal requirement.
