To survive and excel in a competitive business
arena, you have to improve efficiency, innovate, develop new products
and provide personalized customer service. KRM has done just
that and are positioning ourselves to be one of the leaders in
managing mail prescription benefits for Employers. One area we have
concentrated on is the significant savings that can be achieved in the
Mail Service Pharmacy.

Building blocks to
Success |
|
| • |
KRM prescription program is simply put; to increase generic utilization. Our
drug formulary and plan design help our partners to achieve a 20% or more increase in generic utilization.
Everyone can recognize that a generic drug
is going to cost less than the same drug in its branded form. Generics
can save up to 70% of the cost of brand name medications. We have
developed a cost effective way to increase generic utilization by
technological advances and our company owned software. |
| • |
KRM has developed a prescription software program that can control and sustain drug costs.
This is very important today, as drug costs are increasing twice as much as
hospital costs a year. Eventually, drugs will be the largest part of healthcare costs for employers
if current drug costs continue to grow. |
| • |
KRM has developed a successful program where we are able to educate
the Physician to prescribe a generic therapeutic alternative drug for a branded product that
does not have a generic available.
What this means is that there are generic medications available that are in
the same therapeutic class as a Branded drug whose patent has not yet expired. |
| Generic Therapeutic Alternative Prescription Program |
| • |
KRM clinical pharmacy staff identifies brand name medications in a class of drugs
(e.g. anti-inflammatory) where there is another branded medication with a generic available. These two
medications are therapeutically used to treat the same disease.
A call of fax is sent to the Physician for approval. The Physician reviews the patient's
file and calls or faxes the approval or disapproval back.
|
| • |
We are experiencing a 75% return for approvals.
|
| • |
The savings achieved by splitting a higher strength mediction for a lower strength is 45%.
We are seeing a 70% approval by the employee
|
| • |
KRM has developed another program to educate the employee about alternative choices they can
make to save them more out-of-pocket money.
This program is mostly successful when the employer participates. KRM supplies supporting data
reports to the Employer on a quarterly basis. We produce in house a copy of a drug benefit plan design that shows the employee
where he/she can get their best value. We are also available to speak to the employees upon renewal about the
prescription program.
|
| • |
KRM MAC's generics in the mail.
We have set maximum allowable costs in our mail service. The average MAC is up to AWP - 82%. |
|
Our biggest difference between RxMPSS and the other vendors is the Generic Therapeutic Program we developed;
we are not dependent upon manufacturer's rebates to decide what medications will be preferred. Along with a good
prescription plan design, RxMPSS can demonstrate savings to 20% or more and will put that in writing. Guaranteed!

You make the choice
|
| Therapeutic Equivalent Prescriptions Savings Program |
| |
| Many brand name medications that do not have an FDA approved generic do, in fact, have a therapeutic
equivalent medication that does. |
| |
| Many Physicians are not aware of these therapeutic equivalent generics. MedsBUYMail will contact the
Physician and explain and educate the Physician about these medications. |
| |
| The medications are for the exact same therapeutic disease but are manufactured by a competing drug company. |
| |
| THese medications have been available for over 5 years and have been shown safe and effective, where as,
the newer medications (brands without a generic) have not been on the market long enough to demonstrate their effectiveness. |
| |
| The savings are tremendous. Please see the Table below. |
