Government Price Reporting
We provide comprehensive Government Pricing (GP) services for new and established manufacturers. This includes entering the necessary contracts and the ongoing requirements for participation in the federal healthcare programs (Medicaid, Medicare, PHS/340B, VA/FSS, and TRICARE).
Rebate Processing
Managing the invoice process for more than 300 Medicaid plans is no small feat. We remove this burden by providing claims validation, processing, and payment generation of rebates paid to Medicaid, TRICARE, Medicare (Part D and Inflation Rebates), commercial plans, and PBMs.
Government Price Consulting
We recognize the importance for manufacturers to find the appropriate balance between commercial and government business. We guide our clients in understanding and implementing effective pricing strategies while complying with the requirements of government healthcare programs.
Audits & Assessments
We conduct audits and assessments for manufacturers who participate in the Federal Healthcare Programs. We assist our clients in determining the service most appropriate depending on the supporting documentation in place.
