View pharmacy-initiated RxChange request

Pharmacists  routinely have a need to  send a RxChange request to the prescriber so that the pharmacist can fill a prescription that will meet the patient’s need most effectively.  When a Rx change request is presented to the prescriber, the prescriber can choose to  Approve, Reject or Edit from the available response types.

An RxChange Request may be sent with the following reasons:

• Allow the pharmacy to dispense a generic medication when substitution has been previously not allowed.
• Pharmacy would like to request that a prescriber review the drug requested and obtain a prior authorization from the payer for the existing prescription.
• Request a prescriber to authorize a therapy change to the original prescription. This includes the workflow where a pharmacy requests a 30-90 day quantity or a formulary change.
• Request a prescriber to authorize a change due to the pharmacy being out of stock of the requested medication.
• Request a prescriber to clarify the original prescription.
• Request prescriber to provide authorization information, such as confirming their DEA number or enrollment with the prescription benefit plan.
