Prioritize Urgent Prior Auth Requests to Avoid Gaps in Therapy
Many patients who have an Rx that needs a prior authorization go without that med...while others miss doses waiting for it to get approved.
Revisit your pharmacy's prior authorization procedures with your techs...and use these tips to help patients get their meds as soon as possible.
Inform patients and keep them in the loop. Explain that the payer is requiring "prior approval" for their prescription...since other less expensive medicines may work just as well.
