Prescription Drug Claims Review and Analysis

Your prescription drug claim data is an invaluable tool for understanding your current situation and predicting the future. It can provide insights about the changes necessary to meet your goals. But data is useless unless you know exactly what you’re looking at and what are reasonable alternatives for your particular group. PBM reports are often unreliable, confusing or presented in a skewed manner.

Associates & Wilson is experienced in data review. We’ll help you identify which drugs are available alternatives for your most frequently dispensed drugs, what sorts of claims members are making and what illnesses seem to effect them more today than last month, last year, last decade. Associates & Wilson looks for patterns that indicate fraud, abuse, inappropriate coverage and substandard patient care including:

  • High number of brand prescriptions when high quality generics are available
  • Prescriptions being filled in quantities or for periods of time that far exceed best practice guidelines or expected prevalence of claims
  • High number of prescriptions for drugs that are often used for cosmetic, experimental or lifestyle purposes.

Once the problems and the opportunities begin to emerge from the routine data analysis, data is further evaluated. As information gets more specific, the best solution becomes obvious.

Our “Sparks” service uses your experience and utilization to spark ideas for health management initiatives. By staying ahead of the curve, you avoid costly mistakes that then have to be corrected. Well-planned initiatives can be implemented before the situation turns into a crisis. This process saves both time and money. Associates & Wilson can help you understand your numbers and develop strategies to manage your claims based on this information.
