“A challenge for payers and PBMs is ensuring that workers' compensation settlement funds are being used in accordance with the MSA arrangement,” said Glen Hoffman, vice president of investment services and company principal for DataPath. “We developed the RelianceCard to help PBMs and payers better monitor these funds,eliminate administrative burdens, and apply network discounts to related medical expenses such as scriptions
and durable medical equipment.”

Why:
Ensure Proper Account Use: When MSA settlement dollars are used incorrectly, injured workers can run out of funds for necessary medical care, leading to calls, unnecessary expenses and threats of litigation.
RelianceCard can be customized to restrict purchases and automatically apply network discounts.
Reduce Administrative Hassles: RelianceCard encourages the use of in-network pharmacies and durable medical equipment (DME) providers. This eliminates the burden of adjudicating third-party bills. If cards are lost or stolen, the claimant calls DataPath directly, eliminating hassles for the organization managingthe MSA account.
How it Works: DataPath’s RelianceCard is linked to the claimant's MSA account. Cards can then be linked to the
PBM’s pharmacy or ancillary network to automatically apply discounts. DataPath’s patented ClaimsVault™ technology tracks documents and receipts for concise recordkeeping and easy CMS reporting.
Cards are fully customized to give payers and PBMs the freedom to make the cards as flexible or restrictive as they want. DataPath handles everything from card issuance and payment processing to customer service and technical support. If a card is lost or stolen, funds are protected against fraud.
