Advanced Pharmacy Concepts is considered by our clients to be the premier pharmacy benefit consulting firm in the United States. The APC team of professionals has demonstrated experience in PBM operations, rebate contracting, government programs and clinical services. Because we focus exclusively on pharmacy issues, APC offers a breadth of services that far exceeds that of our competitors, including (but not limited to):

INDEPENDENCE: Established in 1997, APC is privately owned and has no affiliation with, and receives no funding from, the PBM or related industries. We devote our services entirely to drug benefit purchasers, thereby eliminating those conflicts of interest common to our competitors in the consulting industry.

EXPERTISE: APC has a diverse and talented staff, knowledgeable in pharmacy benefit issues and PBM operational capabilities. The staff includes pharmacists with Doctor of Pharmacy degrees, statisticians, financial analysts, MBAs, and certified pharmacy technicians. The vast majority of the APC team has worked previously within the PBM industry, and many employees have previous experience on other sectors of the healthcare system. Our management team alone brings over 100 years of relevant experience that adds value to each engagement.
