PDX, CoverMyMeds partner on prior authorizations

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Pharmacy-automation system maker PDX has made a deal with CoverMyMeds to help pharmacies using PDX's system to expedite the submission of prior-authorization forms to health insurance plans, PDX said.

"By partnering with CoverMyMeds, PDX customers will have access to another utility that will help streamline the prior authorization rejection process. We remain focused on delivering solutions and services our pharmacy partners require to remain efficient, such as those offered by CoverMyMeds."
