What is HealthTrans?
HealthTrans is a pharmacy benefits administrator,
providing tools and services to more efficiently manage
pharmacy benefits programs. The HealthTrans' solutions
help pharmacy benefit providers optimize and administer
their drug benefits programs. We provide web-enabled
applications, clinical expertise and services to manage
the onerous tasks of pharmacy network administration,
claims processing, financial reporting, as well as
manufacturers' rebate processing and reporting.
What's the difference between a Pharmacy Benefits
Administrator (PBA) and a Pharmacy Benefits Manager
(PBM)?
A PBM is a company who helps benefit payers manage
their pharmacy benefits piece. PBM's typically control
pricing, formularies, negotiated rebates, plan design
and changes. HealthTrans, alternatively, provides
tools and services that let benefit payers control
their own pharmacy benefit. HealthTrans provides all the
same services of a PBM but our systems and services
put our client back in control. Our technology is
flexible, allowing instantaneous plan design and change,
so our clients can easily model and modify plans to
meet their changing needs.
What sets HealthTrans apart from traditional PBM
models?
HealthTrans optimizes all aspects of pharmacy benefit
administration and focuses on best
practices, value based formularies, network and plan design, giving benefit
payers strategic business advantages, such as lower
pharmacy costs and increased flexibility to respond
to changing market requirements.
How many claims does HealthTrans process?
HealthTrans processes 90 million transactions per
year, and manages 15.1 million lives. We manage more
than $4 billion in drug spend on an annual basis.
