Physician Innovation
Streamlining care with innovative solutions
Physicians want to focus on patients, not paperwork. That’s why we’ve partnered with them to develop Physician Innovations, that integrate with electronic health record (EHR) systems and enable prescribers to make better clinical and cost-effective decisions for patients – in real time.
The Physician Innovation suite is integrated with many EHR systems, allowing you to get started immediately. If you determine you need access, contact your EHR or IT administrator for a system upgrade.
Our key vendor partners include Arrive Health, CenterX, SureScripts and more.

Real-time data
Get important patient benefit data prior to e-Prescribing. View patient out-of-pocket costs, coverage alerts and therapeutic options that can save the patient money. For you, this digital tool removes the guesswork, saves time, and enables you to get back to what matters most — caring for your patients.
Improve clinical outcomes
With immediate access to patient-specific information like adherence alerts within your electronic health record, you are empowered to better plan before your patient visit and make more informed decisions during your patient visit right in the exam room when you’re still with them.
Reduce administrative burden
Using your electronic health record, making it easier than ever to submit electronic prior authorizations (ePAs) integrated in your EHR. Save time for you and your staff and eliminate faxes.
Online ePA portals
Even if you don’t have ePA enabled in your Electronic Health Record (EHR) yet, you can use a secure online portal. It’s faster to send and receive responses, and it works for any prescription drug or pharmacy.
Connect to all PBMs and payers with ePA from Surescripts.® It’s easy to submit ePA requests and you can save valuable time if you haven’t fully integrated ePA into your electronic health record workflow.
CoverMyMeds® is a one-stop solution that works for all medications and all payers.
The ExpressPAth® portal lets you manage prescription drug ePAs for patients with Express Scripts pharmacy benefits, or if your patient’s health plan is part of Care Continuum. Not available for TRICARE® beneficiaries.
Other PA options
If you’re unable to use ePA, there are other ways to submit your PA request.
