Abstract

A system and method facilitate alignment of refill dates associated with a plurality of prescriptions, and determine the cost to the customer for the alignment of the plurality of prescriptions. The system may determine the cost to the customer by evaluating one or more of the number of prescriptions aligned, the types of medications prescribed by the aligned prescriptions, the quantity of medication supplied in any intermediate fills between the last adjudication date and the alignment adjudication date, the particular medications prescribed by the aligned prescriptions, and the number of prescriptions aligned. The system may also evaluate one or more rules or contracts related to one or more third-party payors in determining the cost to the customer for alignment.
