Many insurance plans require that physicians get approval from a patient's health plan to prescribe certain medications - a process known as “prior authorization.” The new electronic tool is designed to expedite the submission of prior authorization requests to health insurance plans and pharmacy benefit managers. The tool will help CF health care providers dedicate more time to patients and less time to the paperwork, while also helping ensure patient access to much-needed medications.
The Foundation's Care Center Network provides expert care for people living with the disease. The National Institutes of Health has cited the CF care center network as a model of effective and efficient health care delivery for a chronic disease.
