Approvio

How it works

We do the legwork between the pharmacy, the prescriber and the carrier.

When a prescription needs prior authorization, there are a lot of hand-offs. We own them, so nothing waits on a missing form or an unreturned call.

The process

Five steps from referral to medication.

Every request follows the same path. What changes is how much of it the pharmacy and the prescriber's office have to carry. With Approvio, it's very little.

  1. Step 1

    A prescription needs approval

    The pharmacy learns that a patient's insurance requires prior authorization before it will cover a medication, and refers the request to us.

  2. Step 2

    We gather what the carrier needs

    We work with the prescriber's office to collect the clinical information and documentation that the patient's insurance carrier asks for.

  3. Step 3

    We submit and follow up

    We submit the request to the carrier and stay on it, keeping track of deadlines, answering questions and following up until there's a decision.

  4. Step 4

    Everyone stays informed

    The pharmacy and the prescriber's office see where each request stands. Patients who sign up get text updates as their request moves forward.

  5. Step 5

    The patient gets their medication

    Once the carrier approves, the pharmacy fills the prescription. If a request is denied, we let the prescriber's office know right away so they can decide on next steps.
