Conduent Incorporated announced a three-year Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) contract renewal with the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (MDPHHS). The renewal builds on Conduent?s nearly 38-year relationship with the MDPHHS of providing advanced Medicaid management solutions to further the agency?s mission to deliver healthcare services that help improve and protect the health and safety of Montanans. As part of the Conduent Medicaid Suite (CMdS), the pharmacy module helps MDPHHS reduce costs and streamline operations within its PBM model with advanced applications for point of sale, prior authorization, rebate, data analytics, consumer relationship management and prospective and retrospective drug review functions.

Conduent will also continue to provide medical authorization, precertification, payment method development and inpatient call center services. The company?s comprehensive PBM system was among the first to be certified in the state of Montana and the first instance of an individual Medicaid management module to earn federal certification. In addition to supporting pharmacy benefit management and claims processing, Conduent provides a range of government solutions including Medicaid enrollment and eligibility support, critical payment disbursement solutions, and child support solutions.
