Clinical services · Specialty and limited distribution

At these unit costs the fill is the event

A limited-distribution therapy is usually handed over rather than administered, so the fill is the event that matters. One pricing error, one lapsed authorization or one missing traceability record is material on its own. Attergo holds all three, and where a therapy is administered rather than dispensed, infusion records as its own billing service line.

Attergo: the prior authorization case list, showing cases by stage with the payer and the days remaining on each.
The problem

Three controls have to hold at once, and they live in three systems

What you actually paid for the therapy, whether the authorization gating it is still valid for this cycle, and whether the chain of custody can be produced on demand are three facts that must be true at the same time, per patient, per cycle. Held by three systems that never compare notes, the first occasion anybody checks all three together is the occasion on which one of them has already failed.

What the platform does

The mechanism behind it.

Priced against what you actually paid, with the basis stated

Your own invoice where there is one, a comparable invoice where there is not, a public benchmark last. Each carries its confidence and a note saying which was used, so a price never arrives without its basis.

A currency floor and a percentage floor, configured separately

Both are set per facility and per payer. A percentage floor is sensible on a cheap generic and close to meaningless on a high-cost therapy, which is where the exposure sits.

Authorizations tracked to their expiry

A case carries its request kind, its requirements and an expiry with a renewal state, so the next cycle is prepared before the patient arrives rather than discovered at the counter on the day.

Traceability applied whole, or held

Supply-chain documents are read from the standard formats into one shape, and a document either lands completely or is held with the reason on it. A partly applied history looks complete and has a hole in it.
