(I-Newswire) April 9, 2008 - Northridge, California -April 8, 2008--PRO PHARMA PHARMACEUTICAL CONSULTANTS, INC., a pharmaceutical consultant organization which focuses on data analytical expertise, announced today that the enhanced Invoice Screening™ is now available to assist with Accounts Payable reviews of Health Plan, PBM and TPA invoices. This Accounts Payable function is a "must have" in a manager's tool box. Specifically, Pro Pharma's Invoice Screening™ will assist with management of rejected claims that did not meet contract requirements pre-adjudication by:
1. Collecting dollars from inappropriately paid claims
2. Correcting claims payment process of vendors
3. Controlling provider "abuse"
"Review of biweekly PBM Pharmacy Invoices for Preadjudication Claims can save you 10-15%", said Craig Stern, PharmD, MBA, President of Pro Pharma Pharmaceutical Consultants, Inc. "Savings for most clients are realized when Pharmacy Invoice Amounts are verified and Billing Details are screened against Formulary Compliance, Eligibility, Pricing/Mac Compliance, Invalid Claims and Excluded Benefits. Oversight and Management of Vendor Claims Adjudication "real time" puts control back into your pocket. "
Invoice Screening ™ eliminates payment errors, identifies problems previously unidentified or historically not addressed and puts money back in the organization's pocket. Pro Pharma seeks to assist clients in minimizing their spend by identifying savings opportunities not commonly addressed by the PBMs. Pro Pharma will turn these reports back for management review/oversight/action within 72 hours after receiving complete data sets, to prevent payment rejections.
