November 12, 2003AdapCS to partner with pharmacy benefits administration organization
AdapCS, Inc. of Marina, California has recently joined the efforts of HealthTrans, a pharmacy benefits administration organization based in Greenwood Village, Colorado. "AdapCS will be providing its support in the form of the National Medical Director role for HealthTrans," says Kurt Sligar, M.D., M.H.A., President and CEO of AdapCS.
"Pharmacy benefits administration is a component of the health insurance process that assists doctors, patients and pharmacies in the efficient and effective distribution of drugs to plan members," says Dr. Sligar. "There are so many drugs for so many medical conditions these days, that most insurance carriers, particularly managed care systems, have lists of approved drugs that are appropriate for specific conditions."
Over the past few years, increasing public demand has caused a shift in the sophistication with which such approved drug lists are created and drugs are prescribed. That is where AdapCS comes in with its team of physicians possessing a combined total of over 75 years in the trenches of healthcare delivery. "The days of a clerk behind a computer telling the doctor what he can and cannot do is rapidly becoming history," says Dr. Sligar. "We will be working closely with HealthTrans to bring the type of patient-friendly and value-based health insurance that the public has long deserved."
HealthTrans is a Business Solutions Provider offering a full complement of pharmacy benefits administration services. Based in Greenwood Village, Colorado, the company offers Pharmacy Benefit Management to Managed Care Organizations, retail pharmacy groups, employer groups and other such healthcare coalitions. Its Apothesys Suite of pharmacy benefits administration services include pharmacy claims processing, pharmacy network administration, clinical services support, financial reporting, pharmacy and member help desk, billing and payments, as well as manufacturer rebate processing and reporting.
