Surescripts Real-Time Prescription Benefit is aiding the care team evolution by connecting pharmacies to information directly from the benefit plan. 

“[Surescripts] Real-Time Benefit solution allows us to deliver options and solutions that address the unique needs of each patient,” said Sanjay Sheshadri, PharmD, owner of Staywell Pharmacy.

Before using this technology, Staywell staff would spend 10-15 minutes on each drug to identify an alternative. Sheshadri adds, “a patient would have to wait three to four business days only to find out a particular medication wasn’t going to work.” Now with Surescripts technology, “we know right away.”

POC Testing Certification provides pharmacies with the education and tools necessary to achieve certification. 

Post-pandemic, the POC Testing Certification has garnered more interest due to the expanded role of pharmacies as a go-to for disease testing, such as COVID, flu, strep and A1C. If pharmacies are not already doing testing, this program offers them new revenue opportunities.  As a certified testing facility, they can assure their customers, patients, payers, and employees that their testing quality has been validated by a nationally recognized third-party accreditation organization.
