Solutions · MFP Reconciliation

Medicare sets the price. The refund still has to find you.

You buy at list; the manufacturer owes the difference on every eligible fill. Every step of that flow can leak - and most teams are chasing it in spreadsheets. EngineRx tracks expected versus received on every claim, for every pharmacy you run.

Program facts per CMS, 2024-2026 · once CMS selects a drug, MFP applies to every eligible dispense; refunds flow only through MTF participation.

The mechanics

MFP is a refund, not a lower price. You front the cash on every fill.

01

Acquire & dispense

You buy at WAC. The beneficiary's cost share is based on the MFP.

02

Claim adjudicates

The Part D claim and PDE data flow to CMS as usual.

03

MTF verifies

The MTF confirms eligibility and computes the refund: WAC − MFP.

04

Manufacturer pays

Once the manufacturer approves the claim, the refund is due within 14 calendar days of the MTF data transmission.

05

You reconcile

Cash typically lands 14-28 business days after transmission - for claims you match and track.

Every MFP dispense creates a manufacturer receivable on your books. At health-system scale, that is thousands of claims per month to match against 835 remittances.

The closed loop

From raw MTF data to recovered refunds, automated.

The stakes

See where your refund flow leaks.

Unmanaged, MFP can leak six figures a year - before Part B even lands. Size it against your own footprint.

What EngineRx MFP does

A complete refund-reconciliation system for every pharmacy you run.

01 Expected-refund engine Calculates what each dispense should return - per NDC-11, per pharmacy, per day, priced off WAC on the date of service.
02 Remittance matching Ingests 835 remittance data and matches every refund to its claim automatically - reversals, resubmissions, and re-adjudications grouped into one claim history.
03 Variance & dispute management Flags shortfalls, non-payment, and 340B conflicts; assembles the evidence file; runs the inquiry and dispute process with manufacturers and the MTF help desk on CMS templates. The window is short - disputes must be filed within 60 days, and EngineRx tracks that clock on every claim.
04 Enrollment & configuration hygiene Every NPI and NCPDP entity enrolled correctly in the MTF, banking and designations current, new drug lists configured before they go live.
05 System-level rollup One dashboard across every outpatient, retail, and specialty pharmacy you operate - finance-ready reporting that ties refunds to cash.

Commercial model

A flat subscription, capped at the system level.

Predictable and budgetable - no percentage of refunds, no surprise scaling. Catching a single missed refund cycle typically matters more than the line item.

Why now

The baseline you set this year is the one you defend later.

The drug list grows every January. The earlier reconciliation starts, the earlier the baseline is defensible - retroactive cleanup gets harder every quarter.
