What You Should Know:
– GoodRx, a resource for healthcare savings and information launches its real-time benefit check (RTBC) in Provider Mode.
– Developed in collaboration with AssistRx, the advanced therapy initiation and patient solutions provider, real-time benefit check gives healthcare professionals (HCPs) immediate access to eligible patients’ insurance coverage and greater visibility into the cost of brand and specialty drug prescriptions at the point of prescribing.
Comprehensive Cost Information At The Point of Prescribing
Real-time benefit check is easy and seamless for providers to use. After healthcare professionals log into GoodRx Provider Mode, they can check a patient’s insurance coverage with just a few pieces of information – patient name, date of birth, gender, and zip code. Provider Mode is easily accessed through the web on any device. It can be used alongside existing healthcare technology systems and includes cost comparison tools, faster savings with GoodRx coupons, customized news feeds, enrollment forms for specialty hubs, and brand drug savings options that are not available in traditional electronic health records. HCPs can also seamlessly share available GoodRx savings with their patients using a QR code, without having to share a personal email address or phone number with the recipient.
Real-time benefit check also has the potential to deliver significant value to GoodRx’s pharma manufacturer partners. Pharma manufacturers spend a lot of time and resources educating HCPs about their medication access solutions. Through Provider Mode, these manufacturers can help raise awareness with high-intent HCPs who are searching for brand and specialty medications on GoodRx. Cost and affordability are often major barriers to taking medications as prescribed, so by surfacing if a patient is eligible for a copay card or savings programs at the point of prescription, real-time benefit check delivers more transparency in the prescribing workflow. This can ultimately enable manufacturers to reach large, highly motivated audiences at a key juncture in the provider and patient journey, with the goal of driving greater healthcare access and less script abandonment.
Over 550,000 HCPs have used Provider Mode to date, and GoodRx’s comprehensive price comparison features, which now include real-time benefit check, enable them to see the cost of a prescription with insurance, with GoodRx, or with a manufacturer’s savings program.
