SDI is now part of IMS
FIA is a unique service that allows the pharmaceutical industry to measure the impact of popular utilization-control measures used by managed care organizations, including tiered co-pay benefit designs and prior authorization restrictions.

Key Measures
Parameters measured in FIA:
  • Paid claims
  • Payer-rejected claims
  • Patient-reversed claims
  • Claims submitted
  • Substituted rejected claims
  • Substituted reversed claims
  • Out-of-pocket cost analysis for paid, reversed, and reversal substituted claims
  • Out-of-pocket differentials between reversed and reversal substituted claims
  • Days supply
  • National and regional account analysis

Product Benefits
  • Provides you with the data you need to measure the impact of business being lost due to managed care organization (MCO) restrictions and patients’ price sensitivities
  • Identifies payer-specific friction at the pharmacy and empowers managed care account teams to positively influence market share

Methods
  • The data are projected to represent total retail claims
  • Rx switch data analyze both directions of the claims process – what was submitted and what was adjudicated, providing a view of reject and reversal data
  • The analysis focuses on those reject codes that a pharmaceutical company can act upon, but all reject codes are available for analysis
  • SDI utilizes a look-forward window to identify true rejects instead of attempts

What business questions does this product answer?
  • What effects are competitors, generics, and MCO-imposed cost- and utilization-control measures having on a product line?
  • What drugs are being substituted for your product by both the payer and patients?
  • What effects are individual restrictions and co-pays having on your product line?
  • At what price points are patients refusing your product for competitors?

Deliverables

  • Reject and reversal rates
