Specialty Medications: Expedite Fulfillment

Veradigm AccelRx—Expedite Fulfillment for All Your Specialty Medications

For a specialty medication prescription to be filled, it must first be processed by a wide range of healthcare stakeholders, including payers, specialty pharmacies, and specialty medication hubs. Prescribing these therapies also requires prescribers and their staff to complete numerous, time-intensive processes up front. These include the completion of enrollment documentation; performing benefit verification; obtaining prior authorization; delivering patient safety and educational information; and compliance with the FDA’s REMS program.^1,2

All these requirements make it easy for patients, providers, and even specialty pharmacies to become overwhelmed before the patient even receives their prescribed therapy.³ The result is often extended patient wait times, ranging from days to weeks or even months.^2,4
