Data Niche Associates is an information services firm that serves the pharmaceutical industry. In 1991, Data Niche pioneered the use of a prescription-level standardized database to validate state Medicaid rebate invoices and is currently the leading provider of Medicaid and Managed Care Rebate validation services. In March of 2003, IMS Health acquired Data Niche to offer comprehensive information and analysis of Medicaid and Managed Care markets, enabling pharmaceutical manufacturers to optimize performance within those rapidly growing healthcare delivery channels.
Together with IMS, our goal is to cultivate our niche as an unbiased and objective source of Medicaid and Managed Care data and provide a level platform for Medicaid and Managed Care dispute resolution. Also, our goal is to help clients understand their position in a specific market and develop financial and marketing objectives.
Our expertise is in transforming numerous data formats into user-friendly standardized databases and applications. To do so, we implement a mutually agreeable set of standards predetermined by interaction between data suppliers and data users. In addition, we employ the standards set by the National Council for Prescription Drug Program (NCPDP) and rely and incorporate information from outside sources such as FirstDataBank and Medi-Span.
