Sprint Insurance Payer Solution

Back to Healthcare

Many health insurance payers see the value in the Sprint Insurance Payer Solution and are investing in this electronic prescribing initiative. The reaction has been positive both from providers and patients alike. They’re enjoying benefits like:

• Increased formulary compliance. Traditionally, health plan providers rewrite at least 20-25 percent* of non-formulary prescriptions because of increased concern for prescription validation against your plan formulary.
• Enhanced savings. Health plans can expect additional savings from increased generic dispensing and substitution rates. Increasing the percentage of generic and substitution dispensing quickly translates to substantial savings.
• Improved patient safety. Electronic prescriptions help reduce dangerous errors caused by hard-to-read handwriting, dosing errors, and misread prescription names. Computer-to-computer connectivity also minimizes the risk of human error.
• Physician-centric prescribing. This intelligent system remembers a physician’s preferred ways of prescribing. Physicians can write orders offline and send them all at once to the pharmacy or they can send orders individually. Increasing provider satisfaction and loyalty to the payer.
• Prescription writing anytime on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Physicians can send in prescriptions securely from just about anywhere—from the bedside to the ballpark.
