PHARMOECONOMICS:
ARE YOUR DRUG FILE PRICES
ACCURATE?
UTILIZING PHARMACY DATABASES TO IDENTIFY
COST OPPORTUNITIES
Andrew Henriksen PBM/CMOP Pharmacoeconomic Data
Manager
Workshop Objectives
2



Learn tips to optimize local drug file setup
Introduction to methods used to validate data using
available reports and tools
Learn how to access the Pharmacoeconomic
SharePoint site and other available resources
including future CDW reports and tools
3
Drug File Optimization
How cost data gets entered into VISTA
4

Prime Vendor Invoices uploaded via the Drug
Accountability application
 Data
must be verified before being accepted
 Quantity issues (dispense unit vs. order unit, bottle size)
 Different dispense unit (gram vs. inhaler)
 Different NDC ordered

Items not purchased through prime vendor
(omeprazole via repackaging provider) must be
updated manually
How costs gets into VISTA (and to PBM)
5

File 50: DRUG File
 Synonyms:
Can have multiple NDC’s each with their own
price, quantity, dispense unit per order unit entered
 Only one price at a time, assigns the most recent invoice
price or last price change to all fills going forward (not
tied to NDC)
 Does not use CMOP prices for fills dispensed by CMOP,
price assigned is current price in local drug file
Example -Tiotropium 30 (Prime Vendor)


Use Drug Accountability package to lock in
appropriate quantity dispense units per order unit
Utilize the drug message screen to guide pharmacy
staff on how to complete orders
Consider provider Quick Orders to aid prescribing
Limit possible doses to 1 dose per strength on flat
priced items (utilize tablet splitting where
appropriate)

Formulas





Most measures are cost per 30 day fill
Cost per 30 day based on total costs for drugs in
market basket and number of 30 day fill
equivalents
Market basket to include all relevant drugs in
targeted area
Drugs costs used in calculations come from local drug
file*
Results calculated quarterly by PBM
Definitions


Target – based on average of top 5 VISNs for
majority of initiatives or national average where
indicated. If there was an outlier, the top 2-6
networks were used.
Goal – network specific goal based on 75% of the
difference between network baseline and the
target (top 5 networks average)
Performance Measure



Dollar amount based on the national initiatives
Finance Committee satisfactory goal (green) is 50%
of dollar amount based on the national initiatives


Depending on perspective, one can look at the
difference between the average, median, and
mode cost prices from the pharmacy site acquisition
price
Drug Cost Report Definitions


Unit Price – The price the pharmacy paid for the med

National/Region/VISN/Station/PharmacySite


Prescriptions – Prescriptions

Quantity – Quantity

Difference – Difference Between Prices

Cost Impact = Difference * Quantity



Average is sensitive to outliers (high and low)
Median – Pick the median price among the stations

Mode – Pick the most common price among the

Reports show all of them depending on the
