- $750,000 Savings to Client. Pharmacy Audit. After one of the nation’s largest PBMs audited our client’s pharmacy, we negotiated a settlement with the PBM that saved the client approximately $750,000.
- $281,000 Recovery for Client. Unclaimed Funds Action. One of the largest PBMs in the country was wrongfully holding approximately $281,000 in unclaimed funds belonging to our pharmacy client for four years. We intervened threatening litigation if the PBM did not reissue the checks to our client immediately. The PBM reissued the checks for the full $281,000 within a few weeks of its receipt of our letter.
- $240,000 Savings to Client. Pharmacy Audit. After one of the nation’s largest PBMs audited our client’s retail specialty pharmacy, we vigorously opposed its audit conclusions and saved the client approximately $240,000.
- Immediate Reinstatement of Client to Pharmacy Network. Pharmacy Audit. Our retail pharmacy client was terminated from a PBM network of provider pharmacies. Our client was on the verge of having to close its pharmacy because the PBM’s network “lives” constituted a substantial portion of the client’s revenues. If the client was not swiftly reinstated to the PBM’s network, it would fail. Within a matter of days our client was reinstated to the PBM’s network.
- $98,000 Savings to Client. Pharmacy Audit. After a major health insurer audited our client’s retail specialty pharmacy, we vigorously opposed its audit conclusions and saved the client approximately $98,000 out of an attempted recovery by the insurer of $104,000.
- $45,000 Savings to Client. Pharmacy Audit. After a major health insurer audited our client’s retail specialty pharmacy, we vigorously opposed its audit conclusions and saved the client approximately $45,000 of an attempted recovery of $47,000.
