Solutions / PBM Claims Platform Modernization

PBM claims platforms, modernized without stopping the claims.

Legacy claims-testing and adjudication-support systems re-platformed to cloud-native microservices — with the compliance strengthened, not traded away for speed. Delivered for large PBM organizations, by the practitioners who scoped the work.

The problem

The problem we keep meeting

PBM platforms age in a specific way: a business-critical .NET monolith that has become hard to maintain and expensive to change, no CI/CD so every release is a project, claims files still moved by hand, and transaction volumes climbing past what the architecture was sized for. Nobody can pause adjudication to fix any of it — the modernization has to happen while the claims keep flowing.

Our approach

What we actually do

Re-platform to microservices, incrementally

Legacy .NET re-architected to Java microservices on AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, Lambda) — modules scale and change independently, integrated with the legacy platform through REST APIs while it still runs.

Build the delivery pipeline in

Automated regression testing and CI/CD built into the platform itself, so releases stop being events.

Automate the claims-file plumbing

Managed file transfer with AES-256 at rest, TLS in transit, role-based access and complete audit trails — manual movement of pharmacy claims files eliminated.

Partner-framed compliance

HIPAA and HRSA alignment designed into the build. We bring the engineering; your team brings the pharmacy-benefit domain — we don't pretend to know your business better than you do.

Results — delivered, not projected

What this has produced

concurrent users and test executions on a re-platformed claims-testing system

transaction capacity on a re-architected 340B platform

100%

of daily and monthly pharmacy claims transfers automated

Every number above is a delivered result from PBM and pharmacy-technology engagements — not a projection or an industry benchmark.

FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask

Can a PBM claims platform be modernized without interrupting adjudication?

Yes — that constraint shapes the whole approach. We re-platform incrementally: the legacy system keeps running while modules move to microservices one at a time, integrated through REST APIs. In our PBM engagements the business kept processing claims throughout; there was no cutover big-bang.

What does a PBM modernization typically involve technically?

In our delivered work: legacy .NET re-architected to Java microservices on AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, Lambda), automated regression testing and CI/CD pipelines built into the platform, REST integration with the legacy claims platform and third-party pricing and compliance services, and managed, audited file transfer replacing manual claims-file movement.

How is HIPAA handled during a re-platform?

Compliance is designed into the build rather than audited on at the end — encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, automated audit logging, and for 340B work, automated duplicate-discount detection and Medicaid Exclusion File validation. On one 340B re-platform, HRSA and HIPAA compliance came out strengthened, not merely preserved.

Do you know the PBM business, or just the technology?

Our depth is the engineering — claims systems, adjudication-support platforms, 340B, pharmacy data. We work alongside the client's own pharmacy-benefit experts rather than claiming their domain: we bring the technology, you bring the domain. That division of labor is deliberate and it's why the engagements work.

How do we start without committing a budget?

Bring us the actual problem — the system, the volumes, the constraint. We assess it free, and for the right fit we build a working prototype before any invoice. If it earns your confidence, the same practitioners who scoped it stay and take it to production.
