ConvergaHealth is the leader in Specialty Benefit Management. ConvergaHealth was formed by a team of dedicated individuals that have an
extensive background in home and alternate-site health care. This team is
committed to offering a fresh approach to solving the needs of employer groups
that are searching for innovative ways to control specialty
medication spending.
The Medical Benefit is generally defined as prescription drugs
administered in the home, outpatient clinic, or physician office and paid for
under a beneficiary’s medical benefit plan. Unlike prescription drugs filled at
a retail pharmacy and covered by a pharmacy benefit plan, this medical pharmacy
segment of the overall healthcare space is often paper-based and extremely
labor-intensive. And most importantly, it is plagued with significant
inefficiencies that result in imprecise pricing, excessive reimbursements and
overpayments, and insufficient prior authorization controls. Further
complicating this situation is the "pipeline" of new specialty medications.
Many of these medications while covered under traditional pharmacy benefit
plans, require clinical monitoring and oversight (typically handled and billed
under the medical benefit). ConvergaHealth provides an integrated approach that
manages specialty medications under one benefit - the SPECIALTY BENEFIT! The
result is improved clincial monitoring and patient/employee satisfaction and
measurable cost savings for the employer.
