Payers Benefits & Features

Today’s healthcare challenge is driving down costs without compromising quality of care. For prescription drugs, the Electronic Health Institute estimates that $27 billion can be saved through universal adoption of electronic prescribing.

Recognizing the value, the federal government is moving to mandate electronic prescribing as early as 2007. Major health plans are investing in electronic prescribing initiatives today, seeking significant bottom-line results and an increase in patient safety and satisfaction.

Health plans that make an investment in electronic prescribing technology improve provider relations and are widely recognized as leaders in patient safety and quality of care. DrFirst’s Rcopia electronic prescribing payer initiative can meet your goals for formulary compliance, generic dispensing, and generic substitution. And that’s just the beginning!
