As previously communicated, Independence is committed to transforming the
delivery and affordability of health care. PreCheck MyScript is an online tool
powered by FutureScripts?, our pharmacy benefits manager, and
embedded directly in electronic medical record (EMR) platforms. The tool gives
doctors a real-time, seamless view of a member?s prescription cost-share amount
based on the member?s specific health plan benefits.
These real-time details help improve patients? experience and health by:
- enabling providers to have more constructive conversations with their
patients;
- providing the information, comfort and insight the provider needs to
make more informed prescribing decisions related to the pharmacy benefit;
- giving providers more time to spend with their patients by
auto-sorting through prescription drug lists and prior authorization processes;
- and minimizing prescription delays, dispensing of unnecessarily
higher-cost medications and other barriers that could lead to medication
non-compliance.
PreCheck MyScript also gives the provider insight into whether their
patients? medication requires a prior authorization. If prior authorization is
required, doctors can request approval immediately through the tool.
Independence has seen an increase in prior authorizations initiated
electronically since August 1, 2018, when the tool was made available.
We want our members and their doctors to feel confident in the health care
decisions they make. Knowing that the right medications are being prescribed at
the most affordable cost and without unnecessary delays is an important part of
ensuring that confidence.
