Fox Insurance Company Awarded $3.3 Million in Arbitration Against Former Pharmacy Benefit Manager

Date:12/12/2011

NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Fox Insurance Company, a Medicare Part D provider, with offices in New York, NY, announces a judgment in the arbitration between the company and ProCare, its former pharmacy benefit manager, in excess of $3.3 million, following a suit against ProCare based on Fox's allegations of negligence and breach of contract.

Nathan M.

The November 22, 2011 arbitration award includes a finding that ProCare breached the Client Services Agreement (CSA) between the companies. ProCare was cited as failing to have software to carry out Fox's instructions (as well as Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements) regarding prior authorization and high cost edits, and incorrectly informing Fox that it had fixed the problems with its software.

Fox had presented evidence that ProCare's claims processing system returned thousands of drug claims to pharmacies with the message that prior authorization was required, when no such requirement was in place – including on certain "protected class" medications that would never have such a designation. This caused the rejection of thousands of claims.

Fox also demonstrated that it had repeatedly asked ProCare to upgrade its software in order to satisfy CMS requirements and instructions regarding prior authorization and protected class drugs. While ProCare had informed Fox that these upgrades had occurred, they had, in fact, not, which may have threatened Fox's standing with CMS.

These claim denials drove CMS to take action against Fox in 2010, which resulted in the terminatio
