Overview

Leverage prescription benefit insights at the right time

When cost or coverage issues delay important care, it’s an unwelcome surprise for everyone involved. High costs harm adherence. Care teams and support staff face extra phone calls, faxes, research and rework. Meanwhile, cost pressures increase as our population ages and science produces promising but pricy medical advancements, including specialty medications.

Surescripts shares accurate, up-to-date prescription benefit and price intelligence when and where it’s needed, making it easy to choose the best option for each patient.
