Taking the Pain Out of Prior Authorization
Prior authorization is the biggest headache facing physicians today. Physicians and support staff spend five to eight hours per week following up on prior authorization requests via phone or fax, and 66 percent of physicians say that it takes an average of two or more days for patients to get their medication when a prior authorization is involved.*
Surescripts CompletEPA® can help. CompletEPA electronic prior authorization is already built into your MicroMD EMR ePrescribing workflow and is available to you at no additional cost. CompletEPA delivers prior authorization approvals to the EMR in minutes or less, and integration with the EMR means you stay within your workflow — no more searching for the right prior authorization form. Plus, Surescripts’ electronic connections to PBMs and health plans mean you only answer relevant, patient-specific questions and patient information is already pre-populated for additional efficiency.
CompletEPA is a win-win-win: clinicians get a response while the patient is still in the office, pharmacists get prescriptions they can dispense and patients get their medications right away.
