COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH

Better Savings

Site of care redirection and rebate management are two of the many ways Comprehensive helps you drive maximum value

• Site of care redirection programs help avoid drug administration at more costly sites of care when other options exist.
• Your dedicated rebate management strategy team will focus on your plan’s pharma contracting, working to lower your net drug cost while maximizing value on the medical benefit.

Better Savings

Result: Site of care redirection

• $22,840 average savings for each case proactively redirected to a lower-cost site of care
• Redirecting members to the most cost-effective and clinically appropriate sites of care helps your members avoid distracted providers and inconvenient scheduling

Better Control

Integrate your strategy across all claims

Using our claims processing system further protects your plan from inappropriate payment in a number of ways, capturing savings in areas that are often overlooked:

• Managing across PA and dosing — comprehensively ensure billing practices align with the originally intended, approved use of the medication
• Claims prepayment review — align and validate drug units and dosing for claims prior to payment of the physician
• Claim edits — enforce FDA guidelines around maximum dosing and off-label use for medical drugs that are managed outside of the standard PA review

BETTER EFFICIENCY

Comprehensive is supported by the full-service application of OnePA, our newest UM technology

OnePA, which we will manage on your behalf, integrates medical and pharmacy drug prior authorization and claims data into a single platform in order to drive more accurate, efficient and compliant decisions.

The plan whose PA time dropped to as little as 10 minutes also reports favorable reactions from physicians on their P&T committee.¹
