The "Fragmented Quoting" Problem
Inconsistent pricing across multiple pharmacy locations, such as varying copay calculations for Tier 1 generics, leads to CMS compliance risks and lost revenue from NCPDP claim rejections
Manual entry of patient insurance details, including prior authorizations for Schedule II controlled substances, delays quotes and increases error rates in pricing under MAC reimbursement models
Regulatory changes from CMS or state pharmacy boards, such as updates to DIR fees or 340B pricing guidelines, require constant manual updates to quote templates, wasting pharmacist time on non-clinical tasks
Bulk supply orders for hospital affiliates involve tedious cross-referencing of formularies against GPO contracts, causing stock discrepancies in high-demand items like oncology drugs
Patient-centric quoting for specialty medications, such as biologics for rheumatoid arthritis, ignores real-time inventory from wholesaler feeds, resulting in unfulfilled promises and trust erosion during patient counseling
Decentralized systems between chain stores create quote variances in HIPAA-protected PHI sharing, triggering audit failures during inter-location data exchanges for prescription history reconciliation

Save 20+ Hours Weekly on Manual Quoting: Pharmacists spend endless shifts recalculating prices for generics versus brands under PBM contracts. Our automation handles NDC code lookups and copay adjustments in seconds, freeing staff for patient consultations. Industry benchmarks from ASHP show a 75% reduction in administrative time, directly translating to higher throughput—up to 30% more prescriptions filled per day without hiring extras, especially during peak seasons like flu outbreaks.
Achieve 4x ROI Through Error Reduction and Faster Turnaround
Achieve 4x ROI Through Error Reduction and Faster Turnaround: Manual errors in quoting, such as incorrect DUR alerts, can cost chains thousands in refunds or OIG audits. Like a precision scalpel cutting waste, our AI ensures accuracy in NDC codes, copays, and STLD compliance, minimizing discrepancies. Clients report a 40% drop in rework within the first quarter, yielding ROI within six months via streamlined revenue cycles and compliance peace of mind for controlled substance dispensing.
Scale Effortlessly Across Locations with Unified Efficiency
Scale Effortlessly Across Locations with Unified Efficiency: As your chain grows, so does the chaos of disparate quoting tools lacking integration with EHR systems. Our enterprise architecture supports unlimited locations, standardizing workflows from urban hubs to rural outposts while syncing with Epic or Cerner platforms. This boosts productivity by 50%, handling peak flu season surges without bottlenecks, all while maintaining patient-centric focus through real-time MTM documentation.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our 12-store chain was bogged down quoting insulin supplies manually under Medicare Part D—it took two hours per bulk order with constant PBM verifications. Now, the system pulls payer data from eligibility checks and generates compliant quotes in under a minute. We've saved about 15 hours a week across locations and avoided a potential CMS audit last quarter on copay assistance discrepancies."
Dr. Elena Vasquez
Chief Pharmacist, MetroRx Pharmacy Group (12 locations in the Midwest)
"Implementing their quote automation felt like upgrading from a horse-drawn cart to an express elevator for our operations. Specialty drug pricing for items like Humira used to tie up our team for days with insurance verifications and prior auth submissions. Post-launch, errors in specialty copays dropped 60%, and we're processing 25% more patient quotes monthly without extra staff, allowing more time for adherence counseling."
Mark Thompson
Operations Director, HealthChain Pharmacies (Nationwide chain with 50+ stores)
"We were skeptical about HIPAA integration, but AIQ Labs nailed it with secure PHI transmission protocols. For our rural chain, the centralized quoting fixed inconsistencies in controlled substance pricing that were costing us in overcharges and DEA reporting errors. In the first three months, we reclaimed 18 hours weekly and saw a clear ROI from fewer chargebacks on Schedule III medications, plus smoother 340B contract pharmacy compliance."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your quote automation ensure HIPAA compliance for pharmacy chains?
HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable in healthcare, and we've engineered our system with end-to-end encryption and role-based access controls from the start. Every quote generation pulls only necessary PHI, logs all accesses for audits, and integrates de-identification protocols for sensitive data like opioid prescriptions. Drawing from our experience with regulated industries, we conduct a full compliance audit during discovery, aligning with HITRUST standards. This means no exposure risks during multi-location data sharing—unlike generic tools that often overlook pharmacy-specific nuances. Clients like MetroRx have passed audits flawlessly post-implementation, saving hours on manual compliance checks.
Can this automation handle quotes for both retail and specialty pharmacy services?
Absolutely, our custom AI is built to adapt to the full spectrum of pharmacy operations. For retail, it swiftly calculates everyday copays and generics; for specialty, it factors in complex prior authorizations and infusion pricing. We train the model on your historical data, ensuring accuracy for high-value drugs like biologics. In one case, a chain reduced specialty quote turnaround from days to hours, boosting patient satisfaction scores by 35%. The system scales effortlessly, handling volume spikes during allergy seasons without missing a beat, all while maintaining patient-centric precision.
What kind of time savings can a multi-location pharmacy chain expect?
Based on our deployments, chains typically save 20-25 hours per week per location on quoting tasks alone. Manual processes—like verifying insurance for 50 daily orders—eat up pharmacist time; our AI automates this, allowing focus on counseling. For a 10-store chain, that's over 200 hours reclaimed weekly, equating to $50,000+ annual savings in labor costs at average wages. We've seen ROI hit within four months, with efficiency gains compounding as locations standardize. It's like streamlining the pharmacy's nervous system for faster, error-free responses.
How do you integrate with existing pharmacy management systems?
Integration is our core strength—we use robust, two-way APIs to connect seamlessly with platforms like PioneerRx, QS/1, or McKesson. No brittle plugins here; we build direct pipelines for real-time data sync, from inventory levels to patient demographics. During the build phase, we map your workflows to avoid disruptions, testing in a sandbox environment first. A recent client integrated with their EHR in under three weeks, eliminating double-entry errors that previously caused 15% of quote discrepancies. This creates a unified ecosystem, not just another disconnected tool.
Is the system scalable for a growing pharmacy chain?
Yes, our enterprise-grade architecture is designed for growth, handling everything from 5 to 500 locations without reconfiguration. Cloud-based and modular, it auto-scales compute resources during high-demand periods, like flu vaccine rollouts. We've supported chains expanding by 40% in a year, maintaining sub-second quote generation times. Unlike no-code limits, our custom code ensures no performance lags, with built-in analytics to forecast scaling needs. Built to scale with you, it turns expansion into an efficiency multiplier, not a headache.
What support do you provide after deployment?
Post-deployment, we offer comprehensive support including monthly performance reviews and proactive updates for regulatory changes, like new PBM contracts. Our team provides hands-on training for pharmacists and admins, plus a dedicated Slack channel for quick resolutions. In the first year, we guarantee 99.9% uptime and free optimizations based on your usage data. One chain used our support to refine quoting for telepharmacy, cutting remote errors by 50%. This ongoing partnership ensures your system stays ahead of industry curves, maximizing long-term ROI.
