CUSTOMER: Pharmacy Benefits Management

Business Needs: Time-to-market was the issue. The company needed to demonstrate that they could delivery Pharmacy Benefit Management applications via the web to meet their sales cycle to Health Plans, who were in turn contacting their company clients.

Solution and Approach: The Company initially engaged Aspenware to develop a Proof-of-Concept enrollment portal that could support both clients (Health Plans or Companies) and the employees who are enrolled in the health plans. The specific application was for the Pharmacy Benefit Management part of health plans. Based on successful delivery of a Proof-of-Concept in less than one month, the company decided to proceed with client and member portal deployment. The client portal supports the delivery of company/plan/enrollee/pharmacy information to plan providers and individual users. It is driven by the need to present specific information relating to drugs, co-pays, health savings accounts, drug cost comparisons, pharmacy locations and pharmacy promotions. Other applications, including a Cash Card portal, have been built using the same platform.
