About Us

Quick Facts

 

One Medicaid program avoided the expense of adding staff, because our pharmacy team determined that a planned prior authorization program for HIV drugs was unnecessary.

 

 

Our drug utilization review programs save an average of $25 for each $1 spent by our clients

 

 

The Massachusetts state prison system avoids more than $1.2 million in pharmacy costs each year because of our recommendations.

 

 

In one state, 51 percent of the Medicaid providers we contacted agreed to consolidate doses of expensive behavioral health drugs. A once-a-day, higher strength dose makes it easier for patients to adhere to their medication regimens and avoid hospitalization.
