Palliative Drug Card

Palliative Drug Card's Skilled Patient Eligibility Management System along with our online, real-time technology, can save your Nursing Facility thousands of dollars each month in your Skilled Patient Drug Costs.

Through our Skilled Patient Eligibility Management System, we are able to provide whatever pharmacy or pharmacies you use with ongoing communication concerning your skilled patients. As you know, skilled patients often are activated in skilled care one day, and the next day are decertified. Sometimes you might not even know for months down the road. Through our Eligibility Management System, we can identify claims the pharmacy billed to you outside of the patient's skilled care coverage window and get those claims reversed... even months later! The potential for error is great for almost any facility that provides skilled care. Through the use of PDC and our Skilled Patient programs, we eliminate the errors saving you time and money.

Our program costs you nothing to participate, it is extremely easy to use, and there are no long-term contracts to sign. We combine advanced technology with clinical expertise in order to provide online, real-time prescription claims adjudication that ensures lower drug costs, appropriate drug use, reduction of drug errors, reduction of medication waste, and better control over your skilled care prescription drug costs.

How a typical Skilled Patient PDC program works...

We offer robust plans centered around your needs. A typical plan will work as follows:

· On a daily basis you simply fax us your skilled patient census. We use this information to electronically manage your census and give constant updates to your pharmacy. If at any time the pharmacy has questions concerning your census, PDC has a dedicated customer service center for your pharmacy to call.

· If your nursing facility elects, PDC will perform a drug review on each patient and check for appropriate medication use and possible cost saving alternatives. We fax the information back to you for review.

· The processes you use to obtain the prescriptions at your local pharmacy WILL NOT CHANGE. The only difference is the pharmacy submits the skilled patient’s drug information online to PDC. Instead of getting a bill by one or more of your local pharmacies, you get a simple detailed billing for each patient as well as customized reports that allow you to see where you are spending your drug dollars. It can not get any easier.

· Through our online system, we can require authorization from you for the pharmacy to fill OTC’s (Over the Counter) medications that you might already have in stock as well as Medical Devices that you can obtain elsewhere at a lower price and any other drug or drug category you require.

In addition, because of our pharmacy adjudication technology, you get some of the lowest pricing anywhere.
