Selection and Scoring for Onsite and Desk Audits
      The AudiTrack© application focuses on the discovery of recoverable pharmacy claims cost based on detailed pharmacy claims examination. Pharm/DUR, Inc. uses a true audit based methodology, and does not use sample data to extrapolate potential claim discrepancies when performing an audit. We rely on the information provided by the client to ensure all claims are validated for covered benefits at the time of service. All elements of plan design and eligibility are audited for compliance and adherence.
      Through a number of proprietary and customized rule sets, the AudiTrack© application will identify and report claims discrepancies. Any discrepancy, fraudulent or abusive billing patterns will be flagged and reported to client for further determination before proceeding with recovery. Our solutions are specific to your requirements and evolve with your changing needs.
      Pharm/DUR would expect to receive a full file of claim data in NCPDP format directly from the claims processing system used by the client. A minimum data set file layout is attached in the exhibits.
      In addition, to set up the proper dataset file, Pharm/DUR, Inc. would require a sample of recent data with all paid claims, and claims file layout. Upon completion of the data file test, complete claims data to begin the review. In order to conduct audits appropriately, Pharm/DUR, Inc. would require plan benefit documentation, contract agreements with the PBM, implementation worksheets, and any other documentation necessary to define plan parameters. In the case of multiple benefit designs, we would require a benefit grid, preferably in electronic format in order. A primary contact with a client liaison, to answer questions related to the plan administration and benefit design as they come up in the course of the review process.

      The AudiTrack© program processes pharmacy data for stores that have not reached a specific claims volume. Proprietary and pre determined edits identify the pharmacies and specific claims for desk review. The initial investigations are identified through the results obtained when we submit a client’s claim data to the rigorous system review using the AudiTrack© application. The Pharmacy Desk Audit Program is utilized in instances where the system identifies a data trend potentially fraudulent or abusive in nature or where the claim volume of a specific pharmacy is not sufficient to be included for an on-site audit. Overall, we provide our clients with approximately 10% to 20% of the total audits completed as desk audits. The Desk Audit Program does not preclude the continual and systematic review of claims for inclusion into an On Site Audit.
