Keep Pharmacists At The Counter.
Stop Drowning in Prior Auths & Insurance Rejections.
You make your pharmacy thrive through clinical patient counseling, immunizations, and community wellness—not by spending frantic afternoons on hold with PBM helpdesks, resolving CoverMyMeds prior authorizations, untangling refill-too-soon rejection codes, or keying wholesale McKesson purchase orders. Delegate non-dispensing administrative burdens to vetted pharmacy specialists supervised by a free dedicated project manager.

Doctor Refill Authorizations & Change Requests
Free your pharmacy staff from endless faxing and telephone tag with doctor offices for expired maintenance medication authorizations.
- Zero-Refill Prescription Tracking: Generating automated Surescripts electronic renewal requests before patient medication runs out.
- Prescriber Follow-Up Protocols: Contacting medical practices via HIPAA eFax and clinic direct lines for unacknowledged refill requests.
- Therapeutic Interchange Inquiries: Submitting formal prescriber change requests for out-of-stock NDCs or formulary-preferred alternatives.
- Documentation Indexing: Filing approved renewal scripts, clarifying notes, and verbal authorization logs into your PMS.
Medication Synchronization (Med Sync) & Adherence
Drive high star ratings, maximize adherence scores (PDC), and stabilize dispensing volume by managing your pharmacy's appointment-based sync model.
- Monthly Med Sync Calling: Calling enrolled chronic care patients 7 days prior to scheduled pickup to confirm active regimens.
- Anchor Date Alignment: Calculating short-fills and synchronizing varied maintenance drug regimens in PioneerRx or Liberty.
