Prior-authorizations Alone May Not Help Evaluate An Entire Drug Treatment Plan

BREA, Calif. - Oct. 5, 2016 - PRLog -- PharMedQuest, an innovative provider of Medical and Pharmaceutical Management Services, has updated its video which addresses the shortcomings of using standard prior authorizations when trying to evaluate a multiple drug treatment plan that contains specialty and non-specialty drug therapy.  It's one video in a series highlighting the solutions provided for specialty drug management under the Medical Benefit, including our proprietary state-of-the-art technology platform, ARC™.  All of these videos can be found on our YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/c/pharmedquestsolutions).

"Our ARC™ Medical Benefit management platform is organically developed, utilizes transparent evidence-based criteria and delivers holistic, clinical and financial outcomes" said Kirby Eng, VP of Business Development for PharMedQuest.  "We evaluate the entire treatment plan, not just the ones that require a prior-authorization," he added.

ARC™ works collaboratively with payers and providers to optimize the clinical, operational and financial outcomes for specialty drugs processed through the Medical Benefit, which accounts for 50% of the U.S. specialty drug spend.

ARC™ integrates state-of-the art technology, workflow design, and clinical expertise to deliver real-time actionable data that optimally manages medical benefit drugs.   Some of the country's largest health plans and provider groups are using ARC™ to help them optimize sites of service, evidence-based care, supply chain management and administrative efficiencies. Benefits include authorization matched to claims, influenced prescribing behaviors, monitoring fraud, waste, and abuse and saving money at greater than 2-to-1 ROI.
