Advanced Pharmacy Concepts is considered by many to be the premier pharmacy benefit consulting firm in the United States.   The APC team includes more than 30 consultants who are experienced in PBM operations, rebate contracting, government programs and clinical services.  Because we focus exclusively on pharmacy issues, APC offers a breadth of services that far exceeds that of our competitors: 

• Benefit consulting and audit services
• Specialty pharmacy assessment
• Medical billing (HCPCS) crosswalks for pharmaceutical pricing
• Coverage determination criteria
• Worker compensation program analysis
• On-site and class-of- trade pharmacy purchasing consulting 
• Clinical utilization and formulary support
• Medicaid and 340B programs
• AMP, AWP and ASP pricing analysis

Independence: Established in 1997, APC is privately owned and has no affiliation with, and receives no funding from, the PBM or related industries.  We devote our services entirely to drug benefit purchasers, thereby eliminating those conflicts of interest common to our competitors in the consulting industry. 

Expertise: Advanced Pharmacy Concepts has a diverse and talented staff, knowledgeable in pharmacy benefit issues and PBM operational capabilities.  This staff includes pharmacists with Doctor of Pharmacy degrees, statisticians, financial analysts, attorneys, MBAs, and certified pharmacy technicians.  The vast majority of APC’s staff has worked previously within the PBM industry, and all employees have previous experience in other sectors of the healthcare system.
