Systems and methods may be provided for alternate pricing. The systems and methods may include receiving first information associated with a first claim transaction, where the first information identifies a first drug, a first quantity of the first drug, and a first price for the first drug, determining a first product classification for the identified first drug, where the first product classification indicates that the identified first drug is a preferred drug, and updating an alternate pricing database with the first price for the first drug. The systems and methods may also include utilizing the alternate database to identify one or more lower-cost alternate drugs that are therapeutic alternatives for a requested drug. Customers may be provided with information regarding the identified lower-cost alternate drugs.
