Prescription Costs

 

Prescribe lower-cost medications with Real-Time Prescription Benefits in Epic

With Real-Time Prescription Benefits in Epic, you can easily prescribe lower-cost medications under your patient's prescription drug benefit, which can improve medication adherence, lower prescription drug costs, and minimize your patient’s out-of-pocket costs. Patients will know the cost of medications before they ever leave your office.

 

Get started today! Epic Workflow Details

Real-Time Prescription Benefits is available in Epic in the "shopping cart" after a medication order has been placed. You will see the option to click "Estimate" in the pop-up window. This will display the patient's copay based on the patient's Pharmacy Benefits. Along with the copay, there may be alternative medications that may be suggested by the Pharmacy Benefits Managers (CenterX and Surescript) along with the alternative medication's price.

 

Learn more

1.    Download this Epic Tip Sheet and follow the instructions
Remember to:
2.    Use the "Estimate Button" during the order entry
3.    If the costs and alternatives do not load, verify, and update the patient's Pharmacy Benefits, NOT medical benefit coverage. To verify in Epic, go into the "Rooming" tab and access the "Verify RX Benefits" section
