"Six Sigma" Processes Uitilized For Auditing Pharmacy Spend

May 3, 2010 by Jim Chamberlin

The Quest Group is the only Pharmacy Consultant in the country that has taken the Six Sigma approach to measure defects and provide audits on large companies’ annual pharmacy spend.

This unique Six Sigma approach allows the employer for the first time to establish a baseline, monitor and audit how Rx claims are being paid by their PBM or Health Plan.

In our Six Sigma process we look at every single Rx claim. The defects and defect rates are identified and an action plan for recovery and improvement is established.

As a large Six Sigma company you are spending millions of dollars on your annual pharmacy spend with no methodology for auditing, other than the self reporting by your pharmacy provider.
