The Hometown Pharmacy

PDMI provides customized state-of-the-art services. Since we develop our own software in-house, client-requested updates ( such as benefit re-design, formulary changes, or any other strategic needs a client may wish to implement to more effectively manage their pharmacy benefit ) are accomplished quickly and seamlessly. We work with other industry specialists ( formulary development and rebate contracting / clinical and consultative services / network access and recruitment / mail order and specialty pharmacy / Internet software for consumer-directed health initiatives ) to define comprehensive pharmacy benefit programs. Our services are packaged to evolve as your needs change, implementing modifications without disrupting other parts of your program. Therefore, you do not have to switch pharmacy benefit administrators when you want to replace a single service component to improve plan performance. Ownership: Douglas Wittenauer, R.Ph., is the president and chief executive officer of Pharmacy Data Management, Inc ( PDMI ), a privately held, independent Ohio corporation. A licensed pharmacist who graduated from The Ohio State University in 1981, Doug has over 27 years experience in the pharmacy industry. He got his start working in his family's retail pharmacy when he was 13 years old. Doug founded PDMI in 1983 as an administrative platform for health plans. He developed the foundation on which our proprietary software is based, which allows complete customization and flexibility for existing and prospective clients. PDMI was created to offer clients the freedom and flexibility to provide a customized/full-pass through pharmacy claims processing solution not available in the traditional PBM model. PDMI's first client, a TPA that wanted to compete with a national PBM and offer its groups a regionally based, private-label Rx program, remains with us today. Acting as a consultant, Doug created PDMI, which functions as a back-shop processing center, providing clients with full authority over their respective prescription programs. PDMI has not changed this business model since the inception of the company. Mission: PDMI strives to achieve excellence in pharmacy benefit administration. As an integrator of PBM services, PDMI has become proactive, responding to the emerging interest in non-traditional approaches to pharmacy benefit management. 1983 founded by pharmacist ; acting as consultant for TPA client, PDMI develops private-label Rx program Staffing: PDMI's professionals are a highly technical group most positions within the company require either I.S. or pharmacy backgrounds.
