What learners say
Chargebacks in pharma distribution are brutal and this is the only training I have found that handles duplicate and invalid claim detection seriously.
Accrual true-up on growth programmes was our biggest audit finding. The reconciliation project addressed it directly.
Learning where standard rebates stop and Vistex starts was worth the fee alone. It reframed how I scope pricing projects.
