Independent PBM Oversight

Independent PBM Oversight. Reimbursement Integrity. Claims-Level Visibility.

Stratos Insights is an independent PBM oversight and reimbursement analytics firm in Oklahoma City. Founded in 2022 as part of the PPOk family of companies, Stratos analyzes pharmacy claims one claim at a time so public sector stakeholders, employers, health plans and pharmacy organizations can validate PBM reporting, reimbursement behavior and true profitability.

Visibility Is Not the Same as Accountability. The Stratos discipline

  • Independent

    No stake in the reimbursement being reviewed. Stratos does not administer benefits or negotiate contracts.

  • Claims-Level

    Analysis down to the individual claim, not the summary that describes it.

  • Defensible

    Audit-ready reporting with every conclusion traced back to the claims that produced it.

Stratos analyzes claims and reimbursement data at the source, so the insight holds up to scrutiny.

Who We Serve

One Discipline. Three Audiences.

Reimbursement and PBM activity affect public budgets, private health plans and pharmacy margins in different ways. Stratos brings the same independent, claims-level discipline to all three.

Why Independent Oversight

Visibility Is Not the Same as Accountability.

A PBM report may show selected performance measures. Independent oversight tests something different: whether reimbursement behavior, claims activity and financial outcomes actually align with expectations. That distinction is where accountability begins.
