Know the margin before the bag is stapled
A pharmacy finds out what a fill earned when the remittance posts, and by then the same product has gone out the door many times over. Attergo settles the economics of each dispensing event as it adjudicates, bills the clinical work the pharmacy already performs, and keeps the audit answer assembled as the days pass.
The decision and the number arrive weeks apart
Acquisition cost, contract terms and reimbursement all move independently, so a product that paid last month quietly stops paying, and the only signal is a total that lands long after the buying decision it should have informed. The same lag runs through everything else: an authorization is noticed when a patient calls back, and an audit letter arrives asking about fills nobody has looked at since.
The mechanism behind it.
Every fill priced as it adjudicates
Acquisition, contract term and the amount received resolve to one figure per dispensing event, computed when the event lands rather than at a period close.
Clinical work recorded in a billable form
Services the pharmacy already performs are captured as claims, so revenue follows the work that was done and not only the product that left the shelf.
Authorizations raised from the rejection itself
The rejection that blocked the fill opens the case and carries its reason onto it, so the work starts from the moment the plan said no rather than from the moment somebody noticed.
The audit answer assembled as you go
Dispensing, purchasing and traceability records link as they arrive, so responding to a letter is retrieval rather than a reconstruction against a deadline.
Nothing here needs the enterprise modules
The pharmacy path stands on its own. Managed care, network and delegated-oversight capability exists for organizations that run those functions, and a pharmacy gets the whole of the above without any of it.
