♦ In-house staff spend 20 hours per week and even more completing the hassles with paper work on authorization services.

Momentum on digital efficiency!

Medication processes in healthcare are becoming digital and providing the necessary automation.

♦ The new features that are available these days in EMR are preventing useless communications between the insurer’s plans & the pharmacies.
♦ Automated generation of the task list with comprehensive forms on prior authorization is providing additional value.
