Pharmacy Overutilization and Lock-In Program Monitoring

The contract seeks a subcontractor to develop and maintain analytics tools designed to monitor prescription drug usage patterns within Georgia’s Medicaid program, with the goal of detecting overutilization and potential abuse. These tools will support pharmacy lock-in programs that restrict beneficiaries to specific pharmacies to ensure appropriate medication use and reduce diversion or misconduct. The solution must effectively analyze large-scale prescription data to flag suspicious trends, enable proactive intervention, and provide actionable insights to program administrators. The system needs to be robust, scalable, and compliant with state and federal healthcare regulations. Work under this contract involves ongoing maintenance and enhancement of the analytics platform to adapt to evolving drug abuse patterns and regulatory requirements. The subcontractor is expected to deliver reliable, timely data outputs that inform policy decisions and enforcement actions tied to pharmacy lock-in. The opportunity is posted by the Georgia Department of Community Health, with responses due by May 25, 2026, and classified under NAICS code 511210, indicating a focus on software publishing and data-driven application development. While location details are unspecified, performance is tied to Georgia’s Medicaid operations, and the subcontractor must be prepared to interface with state systems and stakeholders to ensure seamless integration and operational continuity.
