It’s Time to Revisit Your Prescription Processing Decision !
Prescription Drug Benefits are a commonplace to Medical Benefit offerings. Most Insurance companies ordinarily outsource and subordinate management of this program. The huge cost of developing and maintaining an internal IT solution previously negated an internal solution. The major providers of PBM services are firms such as Medco Healthcare, Express Scripts, Caremark and others. They are called "PBMs", an acronym for Pharmacy Benefit Management. PBM online systems interact with contracted networks of Pharmacy providers to complete the cycle of submitted Prescription Rxs and dispensing of prescribed medicines to members of the insurance program. The premium charged by the PBMs for their service has become significantly large enough for the Insurers to consider operating their own processing and management as they ordinarily do for the Medical component of their insurance programs. For a coverage population in excess of 100,000 there exists a cost-effective solution to reign in the outsourced programs. This website contains a description of the DpRx solution that is now available at reasonable, justified costs. For the Insurance companies that have not implemented a Prescription Benefit Program the DpRx solution is a natural and justified implementation that provides cost-containment control of a drug regimen that was avoided if administered on a manual system basis. The DpRx system is scaled to most sizes of member population or may be used remotely over the Internet with comparable savings versus outsourcing to PBMs. |
