Many Americans are shocked by the high cost of prescription medications, leading to difficult choices between affording essential medications or other necessities. A partnership between EHR vendor Elation Health and health information network Surescripts aims to bring prescription price transparency to the point of care for primary care clinicians. The collaboration allows physicians to access patient-specific medication coverage and cost data in real-time. This integration gives clinicians ready access to information regarding prior authorization requirements, lower-cost alternative medication options, and out-of-pocket cost estimates for patients. By having visibility into lower-cost medication alternatives, primary care doctors can help patients manage their health conditions and promote overall well-being.
