What is Real-Time Prescription Benefit (RTPB)?
RTPB is a seamless, automated solution that gives prescribers access to up-to-date, patient-specific benefit data within their current electronic prescribing workflow. This access and transparency help providers and patients work together to make the best possible care decisions.
How does it work?
Our e-prescribing product already performs an eligibility check for patients while you write prescriptions. The patient's pharmacy benefit manager identified during the eligibility check provides the real-time prescription benefit details.
Step 1: Prescribe the Medication
Set up the prescription like you normally would. Make sure the days supply and diagnosis are entered on the prescription to ensure accurate information on the RTPB details.
Step 2: Select the Pharmacy
RTPB uses the chosen pharmacy to provide comparison price information.
Step 3: View the Price Information for the Medications
The RTPB information will be displayed to the right of each medication on the prescription preview screen. Click on the Real-Time Prescription Benefit section to expand it and view the details.
The selected medication will be displayed first. The information displayed may include pricing for retail and mail-order pharmacies; 30, 60, and 90 days supply; as well as pricing for alternative medications.
The red Alert icon next to the price indicates a coverage alert. This may include an age limit, quantity limit, prior authorization, and more. Hover your mouse over the icon to see the details for coverage.
