| 2) |
The physician is also notified by mail
and called for the generic therapeutic changes. |

KRM prescription program is simply put; to increase generic utilization. Our
drug formulary and plan design help our partners to achieve a 20% or more increase in generic utilization.
Everyone can recognize that a generic drug
is going to cost less than the same drug in its branded form. Generics
can save up to 70% of the cost of brand name medications. We have
developed a cost effective way to increase generic utilization by
technological advances and our company owned software. |
| • |
KRM has developed a prescription software program that can control and sustain drug costs.
This is very important today, as drug costs are increasing twice as much as
hospital costs a year. Eventually, drugs will be the largest part of healthcare costs for employers
if current drug costs continue to grow. |
| • |
KRM has developed a successful program where we are able to educate
the Physician to prescribe a generic therapeutic alternative drug for a branded product that
does not have a generic available.
What this means is that there are generic medications available that are in
the same therapeutic class as a Branded drug whose patent has not yet expired. |
| Generic Therapeutic Alternative Prescription Program |
| • |
KRM clinical pharmacy staff identifies brand name medications in a class of drugs
(e.g. anti-inflammatory) where there is another branded medication with a generic available. These two
medications are therapeutically used to treat the same disease.
A call of fax is sent to the Physician for approval. The Physician reviews the patient's
file and calls or faxes the approval or disapproval back.
|
| • |
We are experiencing a 75% return for approvals.
|
| • |
The savings achieved by splitting a higher strength mediction for a lower strength is 45%.
We are seeing a 70% approval by the employee
|
| • |
KRM has developed another program to educate the employee about alternative choices they can
make to save them more out-of-pocket money.
This program is mostly successful when the employer participates. KRM supplies supporting data
reports to the Employer on a quarterly basis. We produce in house a copy of a drug benefit plan design that shows the employee
where he/she can get their best value. We are also available to speak to the employees upon renewal about the
prescription program.
|
| • |
KRM MAC's generics in the mail.
We have set maximum allowable costs in our mail service. The average MAC is up to AWP - 82%. |
|
Our biggest difference between RxMPSS and the other vendors is the Generic Therapeutic Program we developed;
we are not dependent upon manufacturer's rebates to decide what medications will be preferred. Along with a good
prescription plan design, RxMPSS can demonstrate savings to 20% or more and will put that in writing. Guaranteed!
|
| Therapeutic Equivalent Prescriptions Savings Program |
| |
| Many brand name medications that do not have an FDA approved generic do, in fact, have a therapeutic
equivalent medication that does. |
| |
| Many Physicians are not aware of these therapeutic equivalent generics. MedsBUYMail will contact the
Physician and explain and educate the Physician about these medications. |
| |
| The medications are for the exact same therapeutic disease but are manufactured by a competing drug company. |
| |
| THese medications have been available for over 5 years and have been shown safe and effective, where as, the newer medications (brands without a generic) have not been on the market long enough to demonstrate their effectiveness. |
| |
| The savings are tremendous. Please see the Table below. |
