95 Percent Rebate True-Up. In addition to quarterly rebate guarantees, National CooperativeRx has also negotiated as part of its contract an additional "95% true-up." This means if the per claim rebates do not equal at least 95% of the total rebates our PBM collects over a 12 month period, the difference up to 95% is collected and distributed to members. It keeps our PBM motivated while ensuring our members get what they deserve. We return one hundred percent of all collected rebates to our members. Visit our website for more information.
