Shortpaypayment integrity for independent pharmacy

promised → remitted → deposited

The PBM said $84.12.
They paid $71.40.
Now do that math on every claim.

Shortpay reconciles what your PBM promised at the point of sale against what actually landed in your bank — and shows you the money you're owed but can't see.

Send us last quarter's remittance files. We'll show you your shortpays — free, no commitment.

Illustrative example. Your numbers come from your own files.

what we find

The money you're owed, and can't see.

Your remittance files hold the answer, but they arrive as machine code — segments and reason codes no one has made readable. We decode them and put a dollar figure on what you can recover.

Adjudicated, never paid recoverable

The claim went through at the counter. You have the paid response on file. No remittance ever arrived. Money simply sitting unclaimed.

Paid less than promised recoverable

The point-of-sale response said one number; the 835 paid a smaller one. We compare both sides, claim by claim, and total the gap.

Aggregate clawbacks, decoded recoverable

Money quietly pulled from later checks with no explanation — buried in the PLB segment. We translate the reason codes into plain English so you know exactly what was taken.

Refund float, tracked cash flow

Under the 2026 drug-price program you dispense first and wait weeks on the refund. We track what's owed and how long it's been floating.

how it works

We close the loop no one else closes.

Reconciliation vendors stop at the remittance file. We follow the money one step further — into your bank account — so you know not just what was promised, but what actually arrived.

Step 1

Promised

We read the adjudication export from your pharmacy system — what each claim was supposed to pay when you filled it.

Step 2

Remitted

We parse your 835 remittance files and decode every adjustment and clawback down to the reason code.

Step 3

Deposited

We confirm the payment actually hit your bank — the step every legacy vendor still leaves to you on a Tuesday morning.

promised remitted deposited  =  every dollar accounted for

how we handle your data
BAA

We sign a Business Associate Agreement, and we minimize at the door. Reconciling money doesn't require knowing patients. We strip to claim numbers, drug codes, dollars, and dates the moment your files come in — patient names never enter our system, and nothing you send ever touches an AI model. Encrypted at rest, access logged, no patient data in our logs.

See your shortpays before you pay a cent.

One quarter of remittance files is all it takes to find out what you're owed.
