DoseSpot & Patient Assistance Provide Prescription Savings

DoseSpot and Patient Assistance partnered earlier this year to provide prescription cost savings to patients throughout the United States.

Patient Assistance is a free prescription drug coupon program helping patient’s cut prescription costs. “Patient Assistance Programs and Savings Plans are essential to those that are uninsured and under-insured. At almost $1 billion in savings over the last 6 years we have only begun to scratch the surface in helping those that may have a need. These discounts are truly a win-win-win” said Rex Bowden, Founder and President of PatientAssistance.com. “The patient gets the savings, the pharmacy gets a cash payment at the point-of-sale, and the doctor gets a happier patient that is adhering to their requests.”

As an example, a sample of 84 prescriptions routed from DoseSpot to the patient pharmacies resulted in more than $5,447 in prescription savings for patients. Patient Assistance offers thousands of medication programs and is available nationwide at more than 52,000 pharmacies.

“DoseSpot is overwhelmingly pleased with the savings it has secured for our doctor’s patients” noted Greg Waldstreicher, President, DoseSpot. “We look forward to growing our partnership with Patient Assistance and continuing to provide our e-Prescribing Integration customers with the best e-Prescribing opportunities available.”

MEANINGFUL USE CERTIFICATION (ONC/CCHIT/DRUMMOND):

Follow

WHY DO YOU NEED IT?

The only way for your customers to qualify for the Meaningful Use Incentive Program is if your application is Meaningful Use Certified through an organization such as CCHIT or Drummond.  It is also a great marketing tool for your company!

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO RECEIVE MEANINGFUL USE CERTIFICATION?

Same criteria as listed below for Surescripts certification.

DO YOU NEED SURESCRIPTS CERTIFICATION TO RECEIVE MEANINGFUL USE CERTIFICATION?

Your company can choose to go through Meaningful Use certification before Surescripts certification and you will still achieve the Meaningful Use certification for marketing purposes.  However, you will need SureScripts Certification to “go live” with a Meaningful Use certified version.

SURESCRIPTS CERTIFICATION

Follow

WHY DO YOU NEED IT?

In order to electronically route prescriptions and search patient specific eligibility, formulary, and medication history, your application must achieve Surescripts certification.  Even when integrating with a Surescripts certified vendor such as DoseSpot, Surescripts still requires a quick certification meeting to “go live”.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE SURESCRIPTS CERTIFICATION?

When using DoseSpot, your application will have to pass a quick screen demo test that includes different validation scenarios and the ability to send Surescripts messages appropriately in the backend.

WHAT’S THE MINIMUM FUNCTIONALITY THAT YOU NEED TO PASS?

If you are using DoseSpot’s e-prescribing application, the minimum functionality to pass Surescripts certification is the following:

– Method to pop the DoseSpot application in a browser from your application (using credentials & passing your patient information) and receive the DoseSpotPatientID back from DoseSpot.

– Prescribe within DoseSpot (nothing you need to do here)

– Use the DoseSpot API to check for refill requests and transmission errors in DoseSpot and provide a link within your software to DoseSpot for fulfillment.

– Appropriately validate a patient’s demographic information before sending it to DoseSpot
