name: healthsim-rxmembersim description: "RxMemberSim generates realistic synthetic pharmacy data for testing PBM systems, claims adjudication, and drug utilization review. Use when user requests: (1) pharmacy claims or prescription data, (2) DUR alerts or drug interactions, (3) formulary or tier cohorts, (4) pharmacy prior authorization, (5) NCPDP formatted output."

RxMemberSim - Pharmacy and PBM Data Generation

For Claude

Use this skill when the user requests pharmacy data, prescription fills, or PBM cohorts. Load the cohort sub-skill from the Cohort Skills table for specific scenarios.

Triggers: prescriptions, pharmacy claims, medication fills, DUR alerts, drug interactions, formulary/tier cohorts, NCPDP output, pharmacy prior authorization, step therapy

Capabilities: pharmacy members (BIN/PCN/Group), prescription fills with NDC codes, claim adjudication and pricing, DUR alerts, formulary/tier management, manufacturer copay programs, NCPDP D.0 output

Safety Guardrails

• All data is synthetic. Every member, claim, NDC, NPI, and pricing value is fabricated. Never present output as real patient or pharmacy data.
• No clinical advice. RxMemberSim models PBM workflows only. Decline real drug recommendations or dosing guidance; refer users to a licensed pharmacist.
• No real PHI. Never embed real patient identifiers, DEA numbers, or actual cardholder IDs. Use realistic but fictional values.
• NDC codes are illustrative. Example NDCs approximate real formats but may not map to FDA-registered products. Validate against the FDA NDC Directory for production use.
• Pricing is synthetic. Ingredient costs, dispensing fees, and copay amounts do not reflect actual AWP, WAC, or MAC pricing.

Edge Cases and Validation

• Missing NDC or drug name: Generate a plausible synthetic NDC (11-digit 5-4-2 format) and map to a fictional drug. Never leave NDC blank.
• Invalid BIN/PCN/Group: Flag as rejected with reject code 99 ("Host Processing Error") and include a corrective message.
• Partial member data: Fill missing fields with realistic defaults (e.g., person_code "01", relationship_code "1" for subscriber). Note which fields were defaulted.
• Unknown RxNorm or GPI code: Use a synthetic code in the correct format. Note that production systems should validate against the RxNorm API or GPI reference.
• Negative examples — do NOT generate: real DEA numbers, actual AWP/WAC pricing, clinical dosing recommendations, or data presented as non-synthetic.

Related Skills

Cross-Product: PatientSim (Clinical)

RxMemberSim pharmacy claims correspond to PatientSim medication orders:

RxMemberSim Skill	PatientSim Cohorts	Integration
retail-pharmacy.md	Chronic disease meds, discharge Rx	Fill date +0-3 days from order/discharge
specialty-pharmacy.md	Oncology, biologics	Limited distribution, PA often required
dur-alerts.md	Multi-drug regimens	DDI based on patient's med list
rx-prior-auth.md	High-cost drugs	Clinical criteria from PatientSim

PatientSim Cohort Links: diabetes-management, heart-failure, chronic-kidney-disease, behavioral-health, oncology

Integration Pattern: Generate medication orders in PatientSim, then model fills in RxMemberSim. Match NDCs, apply fill timing (retail: same day; specialty: +1-7 days), and PA rules.

Cross-Product: MemberSim (Claims)

Pharmacy and medical benefits coordinate:

RxMemberSim Skill	MemberSim Skill	Integration
formulary-management.md	plan-benefits.md	Coordinated benefit design
rx-accumulator.md	accumulator-tracking.md	Combined deductible/OOP
rx-prior-auth.md	prior-authorization.md	Pharmacy vs. medical PA
rx-enrollment.md	enrollment-eligibility.md	Synchronized coverage

Integration Pattern: For integrated medical+Rx plans, pharmacy costs count toward combined OOP maximum. Ensure coverage dates and accumulator totals are synchronized.

Cross-Product: PopulationSim Integration

When a geography is specified, RxMemberSim grounds prescribing patterns and adherence in PopulationSim's CDC PLACES, SVI, and ADI data. See populationsim-integration.md for the generation pattern and SDOH impact tables.

Cross-Product: NetworkSim (Pharmacy Networks)

NetworkSim provides pharmacy entities and benefit structures for prescription claims:

RxMemberSim Need	NetworkSim Skill	Generated Entity
Dispensing pharmacy	pharmacy-for-rx.md	Pharmacy with NCPDP, NPI
Formulary context	formulary-for-rx.md	Tier, PA requirements
Pharmacy benefit	synthetic-pharmacy-benefit.md	Benefit design
Specialty pharmacy	specialty-pharmacy.md	Limited distribution, hub model

Integration Pattern: Generate claims in RxMemberSim first, then use NetworkSim to add pharmacy entities with NCPDP IDs and formulary context.

Generative Framework Integration

RxMemberSim integrates with the Generative Framework for specification-driven generation at scale.

• Profile-Driven: "Generate 200 pharmacy members from the Medicare diabetic profile" — samples demographics, assigns Rx coverage, links to formulary/network.
• Journey-Driven: "Add diabetic first-year journey with fills" — generates Rx, refills, DUR alerts, and accumulator impacts (TrOOP for Part D).
• Cross-Domain Sync: RxMember → MemberSim Member, Fill → PatientSim Prescription, Pharmacy/Prescriber → NetworkSim. See cross-domain-sync.md.
