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.”

E-Prescribing 101

Electronic prescribing is not just the ability to send prescriptions electronically to pharmacies. E-Prescribing can also increase care quality in a number of ways:

• E-prescribing makes sure that the prescriber is providing enough specific information for the pharmacist to fill the prescription, including the name of the drug, the dosage, its physical form, the route, and the physician’s instructions.
• Electronic prescribing software eliminates the time and effort of trying to understand the prescriber’s handwriting, as well as the chance of an error in that translation.
• E-prescribing significantly reduces the chance that the prescriber’s intentions are misinterpreted.
• E-prescribing is often used in conjuction with clinical decision support to ensure that any drug to drug interactions or drug to diagnosis issues are found and reported to the physician before the prescription order is completed.

Electronic prescribing is considered one of the most important areas of Healthcare IT, which is why Medicare created payment incentives for physicians who use a qualified e-prescribing system. In 2009, the incentives are an increase of 2% in revenue for each patient when e-prescribing is used. Due to the 2009 HITECH Act, electronic prescribing is required as part of any EMR (EHR) which qualifies for Medicare reimbursement in 2011.
