CT Pharmacy Benefit Consultant Responds to FDA Drug Warning
Immediately following the March 24, 2015 notification by the FDA of a possible lethal interaction between Harvoni, Sovaldi or Sovaldi/Olysio combination, medication treatments for Hepatitis C, with the antiarrhythmic drug amiodarone, PBIRx developed an emergency algorithm and ran it against their entire client database of pharmacy claims within two hours.    

The results were immediately forwarded to their clients preventing potential emergency costs to their client’s medical benefit and their client’s employees’ quality of life. Strategic options for various clients were developed for an immediate reach out to affected members, if any.

PBIRx's advancing technology and expertise allows them to be very responsive when drug interactions are announced by the FDA to develop algorithms and run them against all of their clients' pharmacy claims data no matter which PBM currently adjudicates their claims. For over one year, PBIRx has been working with software developers, clinicians and technology to develop cutting edge proprietary clinical algorithms poised to manage pharmacy costs and optimize health care costs and outcomes.

PBIRx is very excited to be able to roll out their new value added services adjunct to current PBIRx proprietary programs to clients in 2015 which will better manage both pharmacy and medical benefits costs.
