ABSTRACT:
Systems, and methods for reimbursing prescription fulfillment that includes identifying a drug associated with a claim submitted by a pharmacy for reimbursement by a payer (e.g., insurance carrier) and identifying a change in a manufacturer set price associated with the drug. The invention includes monitoring reimbursed claims received from at least one payer, where one of the reimbursed claims received from the payer is associated with the drug and determining if the payer has updated its internal pricing value associated with the drug. The invention further includes generating a report that includes the payer's updated internal pricing value associated with the drug, and/or creating and submitting a reversal transaction to the at least one payer followed by a resubmission of the original claim, where the resubmitted claim value is based on the payer's updated internal pricing value associated with the drug.
