E-Prescribing
Electronic prescribing or “e-prescribing” is a way of prescribing which is paperless. Physicians use their computer, with software which has been tested and certified, to electronically route the prescription to the patient’s choice of pharmacy. Pharmacists may electronically send renewal requests to the physician’s office for approval.
Electronic prescriptions are sent from your server through NewCrop, a third party vendor, to SureScripts. Surescripts operates the country’s largest electronic prescribing network which connects to all of the nation’s major chain pharmacies and over 10,000 independent pharmacies nationwide. Clients interested in E-Prescribing should contact Prime Clinical Systems by sending an email to support@primeclinical.com for enrollment, set up fee and monthly administration cost.
Other services available through NewCrop include Medical benefit checking, and Formulary Checking with the Rx Hub. When the patients’ prescription is received, the insurance is automatically assigned to it, and formulary checking begins to verify if the medication is covered. The Rx Hub also tracks and reports what other drugs the patient has been prescribed and, when needed, can list therapeutic alternatives. To learn more about these services, visit the NewCrop web site at www.newcroprx.com.
