Access to specialty medication is often burdened by common barriers and complex administrative handoffs that can impact patient adherence and affordability. In this conversation with Colin Banas, MD, Chief Medical Officer of DrFirst, we look at the core challenge of lack of transparency throughout the prescribing journey.
This often leaves providers and patients “in the dark” about processes such as prior authorization and out-of-pocket costs. Patients find they have more visibility into the status of a food delivery than the status of their life-saving therapy.
Learn how DrFirst is using emerging technology and automation to help to move beyond the current fragmented system to facilitate better coordination between prescribers, pharmacies, and payers. The goal is to make the process as frictionless and seamless as possible and to engage patients with education, expected costs, and savings opportunities.
Watch now to see how DrFirst is working to achieve seamless ePA and patient adherence.
