Our Story

Independent analysis, built for the realities of pharmacy.

Learn More About PPOk

Launched in 2022 as part of the PPOk family of companies, Stratos was built to address a growing need for independent analysis across pharmacy economics, PBM activity, reimbursement behavior and financial performance.

Today, Stratos supports public sector stakeholders, private sector organizations and pharmacy organizations with insight across PBM oversight, reimbursement integrity, payer performance, warehouse performance and profitability visibility.

Why Stratos Exists

Turning complexity into claims-level insight.

Pharmacy and reimbursement decisions are increasingly shaped by complex data, opaque reporting, payer variability, PBM activity, wholesaler pricing pressure and limited internal bandwidth.

Stratos helps turn that complexity into clear, claims-level insight organizations can use to understand what is happening, where financial risk exists and where better visibility is needed.

Built on PPOk’s Pharmacy Legacy

Grounded in the realities of pharmacy.

As part of the PPOk family of companies, Stratos brings a practical understanding of pharmacy economics, claims activity, reimbursement behavior, cost of goods, payer performance, clinical programs and operational workflows.

That foundation matters. Stratos is not simply reviewing data from a distance. Its work is grounded in the realities of pharmacy operations, reimbursement pressure and the financial decisions organizations face every day.

What We Bring Together

Analytical, and operationally relevant.

Stratos combines experience across pharmacy economics, reimbursement and secure data to provide insight that holds up in analysis and in day-to-day operations.

  • Pharmacy economics
  • Claims-level reimbursement analysis
  • PBM oversight
  • Payer performance visibility
  • Cost of goods and warehouse performance
  • Profitability analysis
  • Reimbursement integrity
  • Secure data management and reporting

Our Approach

Visibility is not the same as accountability.

A report may show selected information. Independent analysis tests what the data is actually showing at the claim level. Stratos provides analysis that is independent of the PBMs and payers whose reimbursement it reviews, has no financial stake in the outcomes it analyzes and does not negotiate contracts.

Our approach is independent, claims-level, reimbursement-focused, operationally grounded, and built to support clearer decision making.

Security and Trust

Responsible handling of sensitive data.
