What is the Issue with High Cost of Prescription Drugs?

One of patients’ biggest complaints these days is the high cost of prescription drugs.

Now add to that complaint other issues that can come up during the prescription filling process – such as the need for a prior authorization – and it’s little wonder why this area has become a source of major frustration for both doctors and patients.

Currently, many doctors’ offices spend too much time and manpower dealing with prescription complaints …

Maybe the prescription cost is too high … maybe the drug isn’t on an insurance company’s list of covered medications … maybe prior authorization is required for that medication …

When events like these occur it leads to patient phone calls, pharmacy callbacks and online form submissions that require staff to spend time finding a solution and ultimately to you writing a replacement script, if possible.

Even worse, this process can be repeated several times before a solution is found!

But what if this time-wasting, frustration causing (both for your office and the patient) process could be avoided?

What if you could address all of these potential issues in real-time with the patient present?

 

What are the Benefits of Real Time Prescription Benefit Feature?

Now you can address all the potential issues that may arise with a prescription while you are seeing the patient.

Real Time Prescription Benefit allows you to:

  • Address Prescription Drug Cost Directly – This is by far the biggest issue that arises with prescriptions and now thanks to PrognoCIS you can find a cost option that the patient finds agreeable. This helps prevent the patient from not getting the prescription, or contacting your office to have the prescription changed later or skipping or reducing doses to save money.

  • Make Sure A Drug is Covered by Insurance – With PrognoCIS you know immediately if a patient’s insurance covers that medication and the patient knows exactly what their co-pay is going to be. That means no unpleasant surprises at the pharmacy!

  • Clear Up Any Prior Authorization Requirements – This can also be a source of great frustration for patients as well as doctors. Now you’ll know before you even send the e-prescription whether you also need to provide prior authorization. This eliminates those bothersome callbacks that currently take up so much of your valuable time!
