ARLINGTON, Va. – February 24, 2025 – Surescripts®, the nation's leading health information network, has launched Surescripts Electronic Benefit Verification, a new solution for life sciences companies that provides their in-house patient access and support programs with direct access to patient benefit information, making it easy to verify their pharmacy benefit coverage and out-of-pocket costs without delay.

Electronic Benefit Verification makes it simple to identify patients and their associated benefits with a single, integrated solution, reducing the often-manual administrative process that can require multiple phone calls, faxes and analyzing past claims and multiple days to complete. Surescripts provides secure access to patient benefit information for virtually every insured patient in the U.S.

“The time between when a patient sees their physician, is prescribed a medication treatment and finally begins that therapy can be significant– but it doesn’t have to be,” said Frank Harvey Chief Executive Officer for Surescripts. “Technology that simplifies health intelligence sharing with access to accurate patient benefit information can help reduce costs and other administrative barriers that delay or prevent patients from starting a medication therapy.”

Patient access programs help ensure patients can access medications through co-pay assistance, insurance support, or patient access programs. They also provide educational materials that help patients understand their treatment options.

Surescripts’ technology streamlines the intake and enrollment process for these programs with up-to-date pharmacy benefit information from health plans and pharmacy benefit managers—including patient-specific cost and coverage details. As a result, care managers can spend less time making phone calls and sending faxes, helping patients start their prescribed therapy sooner, which can be critical following an often life-changing diagnosis or needing to continue treatments even when their health plan changes.

“Ensuring there is no gap in access to medications at these pivotal moments reinforces why cross-industry collaboration is essential,” said Tara Dragert, Chief Product Officer for Surescripts. “Surescripts' commitment to collaborations ensures that our innovations deliver on our purpose of solving challenges while improving care on all sides of care teams and most importantly, for patients.
