On-Line Strategies releases OLS.Switch for Rx Adjudication

“Our directive was simple,” says Terry Richards, president of OLS. “Our customer was aware of the ever increasing cost and risk associated with the continued use of their legacy system. As part of a total migration strategy, OLS.Switch will handle Rx transactions in addition to credit, debit, EBT, stored-value, methamphetamine check, employee verification and electronic check acceptance. With the migration project fully underway, we are confident the project will yield positive results for our customer.”

Based upon its core payment switching technology OLS has leveraged its expertise in Online Transaction Processing or ‘OLTP’ to extend the functionality of OLS.Switch to manage Rx Adjudication processing. “Pharmacy Adjudication messages based on the NCPDP message formats are substantial in comparison to financial based ISO-8583 transactions and other payment terminal message formats” says David Bergert, Technology and Development Director for OLS. “The ability to take our deep experiences and message processing strategies in OLS.Switch with financial transactions and merge them with the practices and standards of the pharmacy arena demonstrates the flexibility of OLS.Switch for non-financial transaction processing applications.
