Oakland, Calif., February 9, 2009 - Ramsell Public Health Rx, a pharmacy benefit manager and information management company, today announced the availability of the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Data Management System, a highly configurable, web-based system designed to assist with program administration and compliance while providing States with complete control of their ADAP program.
The program is scheduled to go live in February as part of an installation for a large state ADAP program in the West Coast. The new system supports ADAP States regardless of whether it is a Rebate, Direct Purchase, or Hybrid State.
The ADAP Data Management System is the first complete ADAP program management suite available in the market today. Fully compliant with HIPAA security standards and industry regulations, the ADAP Management System is extremely scalable with no hardware or software restrictions. By deploying the ADAP Management System, ADAP Administrators can closely manage their ADAP drug spends, pricing, and premium payments.

"Ramsell Public Health Rx believes the system will make the administration of the state's ADAP program more efficient, so administrators can focus on what's important, improving patient outcomes and lives of those with HIV," added Eric Flowers, CEO, Ramsell Holding Corporation. "Many States are still operating legacy systems that are not adequately supported and do not easily give ADAP administrators real time information."
The ADAP Management System is one of several solutions in Ramsell Public Health Rx's pharmacy benefit management portfolio. The efficiency gains demonstrated by the ADAP Management System are a direct result of over 15 years of experience with managing state ADAP programs.
