Innovative Analytics to Reduce Pharmacy Costs
Quest Analytics Group assists clients in decreasing their pharmacy spend by utilizing the Quest Rx Dashboard, which performs a detailed analysis on paid claims over a 12-month period. Smaller time periods can be utilized for the analysis, but having data for a full year eliminates the influence of seasonal medications. The analysis is not the typical comparison of drug discounts clients are used to receiving from other consulting organizations
The Quest Rx-Dashboard is a proprietary analytical snapshot of the core economics of a client’s pharmacy benefit. The Rx Dashboard derives a benchmark from a client’s paid pharmacy claims against other groups of similar size, geographic location and drug mix. In addition, it will reveal the actual average script price, discounts from national wholesale price averages, brand/generic drug dispensing rates, specialty drug discounts, member copays and vaccine utilization, along with potential savings opportunities.
In 2019, clients of Quest Analytics Group continued to see a decrease in their pharmacy costs, increased member satisfaction and decreased uncertainty of their ongoing pharmacy costs.

QuestRx-RFP is Complete Project Management of the PBM Proposal and Selection Process.
QuestRx-RFP alerts multiple Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM’s) of the opportunity you control. It fosters competition to lower your plan cost. Our unique Average Script Price (ASP) agreement lowers future price-inflation risk that “pass through” and “fixed discount” proposals place on the buyer. Your result is a lower cost plan that is competitive with the market, has lower risk to price inflation and has more predictable future costs.
Are There Fees Associated to Quest Performing an RFP?
Generally, there is no client out-of-pocket or upfront cost. The fees to perform the RFP are paid by the client selected PBM.
Why Use QuestRx RFP?
