Health Care Insurance Season runs through Dec. 7
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 27, 2015 – Open enrollment for health care insurance time is here – now through Dec. 7 – and with it perennially long waits at pharmacies, health clinics and doctor’s offices as they enter and check patients’ new insurance coverage.
Now, patients can spend less time in those lines and prescribers can spend less time on hold with pharmacies through a pioneering mobile prescription app called getRx.
“For patients and prescribers alike, the open enrollment season can be a real hassle and time killer,” said John Daniel Rudd, M.D., an internal medicine physician and founder and CEO of getRx. “Add in the insurance forms, enrollment applications, approval times and red tape, and you really have a headache! Our getRx for Patients app may be the best medicine.”
One of the app’s unique features is that each prescription includes the patient’s insurance information, so that pharmacies can enter and check coverage before the patient even walks in the store. No more waiting at the counter while the new insurance plan is added to the patient record, particularly on a patient’s first prescription of the new coverage year.
getRx is the perfect prescription for saving time, money and stress. This mobile app connects patient, prescriber and pharmacy. It’s an intuitive app and secure communication technology that’s available in the Apple, Google Play, and Amazon app stores.
For prescribers, it’s an intuitive mobile prescription pad that empowers them to write, send and document prescriptions in less than 20 seconds. They don’t have to call the pharmacy. It gives patients the freedom to have prescriptions filled – and refilled – in real time, real fast, at home or on the go – and keeps them out of the dreaded pharmacy lines. Also, prescribers and patients can now conveniently communicate through secure texting.
getRx allows physicians and other authorized care team members to write prescriptions any
time – without having to log into a clinic system through a computer – using a smartphone or
tablet. The app also gives prescribers the ability to set prescribing authority and authorization
for staff. Also, physicians can see all prescriptions for patients in the getRx system, even those
written by other prescribers – and those not using EMR/EHR systems.
Patients can conveniently see a current medications list – right at their fingertips during an emergency, illness or injury. Patients can direct or redirect prescriptions and refill requests to the pharmacy of their choice. And, traveling patients can even direct their prescriptions to a convenient pharmacy in real time.
