THE FUTURE IS NOW
When we at DP/Rx took a long look at our industry, it wasn't difficult to discover that
no one was breaking away from the pack. All of the major claims-processing vendors had conquered the major hurdles to providing
effective adjudication, cost containment and Drug Utilization Review/ Evaluation. The
sophisticated programming, the maze of communications protocols and technologies; these
problems had been solved a number of years ago. The industry pioneers had mastered the machines, to the point where literally hundreds
of claim processing decisions and benefit calculations could be made at blinding speed.
Even comparisons of various hardware platforms - from micro to mini to mainframe
-revealed little or no functional superiority from one system vendor to the next.
The claims processing industry was reduced to waiting around for the next astounding
hardware "breakthrough" so we could scurry around to tweak our machines to be
just a little faster or more comprehensive than the other guy.
And then, finally, we at DP/Rx had a breakthrough of our own.
What if we could harness all that power and accuracy and functionality to the point
where we could directly empower the healthcare professional who would actually be using
it? Why allow the fog of computers to distance the professional from the very job he needs
to perform? Instead of continuing the superiority and control over the ordinary user by creating
systems that were more and more technologically complicated, why not deliver a system that
anyone familiar with the pharmaceutical industry could master in a couple of hours?
Overnight, our system designers and programming wizards dedicated themselves to a
new benchmark of performance: SIMPLICITY comprehensive adjudication
free of trials and tribulations.
The DP/Rx TeleClaim System is the result of that single idea: to hand over the reins of
control from the programmers, analysts and systems designers to the front-line
professionals of the health care industry. Moreover, this breakthrough in design comes none too soon. The new national agenda to
expand managed care and managed competition will place greater emphasis on increased
optimization of drug benefit programs. Benefit managers and Plan administrators will
insist on hands-on control of their computer resources.
The finished product delivers a system that is, in many ways, even more powerful than
its predecessors and yet can be fully operational in the hands of a computer novice, in a
matter of days, at the lowest cost-per-claim available.
The DPRx TeleClaim System - more powerful, in many respects, than any system on the
market - is now available to administrators and drug benefit managers who only need one
qualification to master it:
They need to know how they want to construct their various groups and plans as a cost
effective benefit.
To achieve this unparalleled level of simplicity, the TeleClaim System incorporates
three unique software tools into one user-friendly package: Menu-Driven File Control, Plan
Design and SIM/Plan.
