Quest Analytics Group created the pharmacy benefit Average Script Price (ASP) model in 2010. Since then, many clients have saved millions of dollars utilizing this pricing structure for their pharmacy benefit contracting. ASP reduces the opportunity for manipulation of payers’ pharmacy performance by the PBM. This pricing model ensures Quest clients receive market competitive pricing and the contract is 100% auditable.

While we see a decrease in spend for traditional drugs, specialty drug development and spend is at an all-time high accounting for over 45% of total pharmacy spend. Specialty drugs are used to treat conditions such as cancer, HIV, Multiple Sclerosis and Hepatitis C. Payers need to have a full understanding of their specialty drug spend and implement a multi-facet approach to manage specialty spend while ensuring the quality of care is not impacted to their population.

Quest Analytics Group provides a solution to assist clients in managing drug spend in the medical and pharmacy benefit. The Quest Specialty Drug Management Program goals are to reduce specialty drug waste due to over utilization, use of inappropriate drug channel, off label prescribing and billing errors. The Quest Specialty Drug Management program has saved clients 25-30% on their medical and pharmacy specialty drug spend.

Quest Analytics Group leverages their expertise to eliminate the complexities of the RFP and PBM contracting process for brokers and self-insured employers. Each client is provided a customized and comprehensive approach to ensure your objectives are met. They are able to provide economical modeling for all pricing scenarios provided by each PBM during the bidding process that allows for an apples to apples comparison.

PBM contracting is a complicated process for anyone to encounter. Quest Analytics Group assures that the client is protected by the agreed contract terms. They ensure contract terms are clean and well defined, performance can be accurately audited and enforced, plus will perform quarterly/annual audits.

Pharmacy implementations are very time consuming and we will be with you every step of the way to ensure that everything is implemented based on the agreed upon RFP terms. PBM implementation experts will review and provide guidance on PBM plan design documents, work with the incumbent to ensure data files (eligibility, pharmacy claims and open mail order refills) are shared to prevent any disruption of the population, and  attend meetings with client selected PBM.

Quest Analytics Group utilizes a propriety technology to analyze 100% of the pharmacy claims based on the PBM contract terms. Many payers do not perform audits on their pharmacy claims or contracts during the life of the contract, they rely on the PBM to self-report their findings. Performing an annual audit holds the PBM accountable, identifies errors and ensures the PBM adheres to the agreed contract terms.
