PMCS Launches the Next Generation of Pharmacy Benefit Management.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Based on extensive research, Preferred Medical Claim Solutions (PMCS) (www.pmcsaz.com) has selected EBRx, Inc. (www.ebrx.com), a division of Managed Care of America, Inc., as an exclusive partner to provide the resources to launch a full service Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) program.

The goal of the jointly established "Triple Net" Pass-Through Program is to provide cost savings, and to generate revenue opportunities for administrators. PMCS will offer a pass-through cost savings solution to all of its clients that will ultimately give the administrator complete control over their pharmacy costs. In addition, PMCS will offer EBRx's state-of-the-art RDUR and Disease Management programs to its clients.

Triple Net Model

--No margining of drugs; actual acquisition cost passed through

--No margining of dispensing fee; actual fee passed through

--Full rebate earned by health plan

"In an effort to take the smoke and mirrors out of the PBM process, EBRx provides a fully transparent pricing model. Our belief is that the industry should follow our example of assisting health plan clients in reducing overall prescription costs," states Jay Ver Hulst, President of EBRx. "Integrating pharma data with medical data to provide a predictive risk analysis, and to determine clinical pathway failures, is an important part of medical management. EBRx will be providing these valuable tools to our clients' medical management providers as part of our product offering."

Paul Caliendo, President/CEO of PMCS states, "PMCS is proud to announce that we have found the solution to rising drug costs. Based on the advance funded provider (AFP) concept that PMCS pioneered in 1998, PMCS has now developed the process of funding our clients' pharmacy scripts as well. This business model will allow us to achieve steeper discounts with the Nation's top pharmacies. Any further discounts achieved through our prompt funding of prescription invoices will be passed through directly to the benefit plan. PMCS is very excited about this groundbreaking development in healthcare, and the opportunity that it represents for our clients."
