Saving patients money without leaving the prescribing workflow

Electronic health record vendor athenahealth serves 140,000 providers. By integrating Real-Time Prescription Benefit, athenahealth gave prescribers the power to inform patients about medication costs and consider alternatives, such as different days’ supply options, on-formulary medications that will cost the patient less, or choices that avoid the need for prior authorization.

“One of the ways we can improve medication adherence is to help prescribers talk with their patients and consider both clinical and financial impacts of a medication before it’s prescribed. Real-Time Prescription Benefit simplifies the process, helping prescribers make medication decisions with greater price transparency, all without leaving their e-prescribing workflow.”
