How does the IntelliScript prescription profiling technology work? Milliman, Inc. creates the profiles by plumbing rich databases of prescription drug histories kept by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), which help insurers process drug claims. When an insurer makes an online query about an applicant, Milliman’s servers scour the data and within minutes or less return reports to a central server at the company. The Milliman server aggregates the information going back as far as five years, including the drugs and dosages prescribed, dates filled and refilled, the therapeutic class and the name and address of the prescribing doctor. Then comes the analysis. Milliman Inc.’s IntelliScript codes pharmaceutical drugs for classification, for instance red, yellow or green, according to the insurer’s instructions, with red signaling the greatest risk. Red codes could include the so-called AIDS cocktail drugs and cancer medications. Higher scores imply higher medical costs.
