Managed Care Formulary and Pharmacuetical Benefit Management Under E-Prescribing, Live Audio Conference on CD-ROM
Managed Care Information Center, Nov 2005
Managed Care Formulary and Pharmaceutical Benefit Management under E-prescribing Tele-Conference on CD-ROM
E-Prescribing is one thing, but weaving formulary into the technology that will connect payers, providers and pharmacies and make it all work is a much greater proposition. And because CMS is mandating e-prescribing for health plans offering Medicare health plan products, progress on making e-formulary work is essential. Formulary and e-prescribing standards are being adopted by the industry. Jan. 1, 2006 is the first 'mile marker' for the adoption of e-prescribing standards. States without e-prescribing laws are rushing to enact them.
Discover how payers and providers will handle formulary and benefit information.
Managed Care Formulary and Pharmaceutical Benefit Management Under E-Prescribing tele-conference CD-ROM sheds light on what is expected over the next three years:
- National Council for Prescription Drug Programs formularies and benefit standards
- The components of the formulary standards
- Handling co-pays
- Prior authorization
- Example of return on investment
- The benefits of e-prescribing to the payer
- What prescribers want
- Dealing with formulary eligibility and medication on history information
- Connectivity to pharmacies and payers
- The subtle differences of e-prescribing components that will be mandatory under the federal rules
- Health plans and their responsibilities towards e-prescribing standards for Medicare patients
In today’s society physicians are much more comfortable with technology. Approximately 5 to 18 percent of physicians are currently e-prescribing. The information presented into this highly rated 90-minute program is beneficial for all health plans, especially managed care plans offering Medicare advantage plans. Physicians nationwide have started to implement e-prescribing into their daily practice. “Doctors in BlueCross BlueShield of Massachusetts are using e-prescribing because they can obtain the actual co-pay that the patient would have to pay. This capability is just one of the main reasons why doctors are using e-prescribing,” says Dr. Peter Coffman, Chief Medical Officer and Vice President of Physician IT Service for Doctors.
E-Prescribing will pay for itself in performance and benefits. If this technology were to be implemented nationwide $29 billion would be saved annually estimates the Center for Information Technology Leadership.
Amanda Daniels, Director of Strategic Initiatives for National Medical Health Card (NMHC) states, ADecision making errors, including those related to prescribing, are the result of not having the right information at the right time, and I believe that electronic prescribing can help deliver relevant patient information and clinical knowledge to physicians.
