Rcopia ePrescribing: Physicians

Clients: Physicians

Rcopia is an award-winning, full-featured electronic prescribing (eprescribing) program which allows medical providers to improve the safety and efficiency of the prescribing process. New prescriptions and renewals are sent electronically by EDI to the patient’s pharmacy of choice – even mail order pharmacies. Rcopia checks for patient insurance eligibility, formulary compliance and medication lists obtained through RxHub from payers, PBMs and SureScripts pharmacy fill history. The application offers clinical decision support tools to check prescriptions for drug-drug and drug-allergy interactions and appropriate dosing. Rcopia also offers the ability to interface with the physician's choice of practice management or EMR system.
