Continually Innovating to Meet Industry Needs
Addressing Electronic Prior Authorization for Drugs Under the Medical Benefit
As more infused and specialty medications are administered in physician offices, prior authorization for drugs billed under the medical benefit has become increasingly challenging across the industry. While there is a well-established electronic prior authorization (ePA) standard for pharmacy benefit drugs, no comparable industry standard exists today for medical benefit medications.
Unlike pharmacy benefit drugs, medical benefit medications are often purchased directly by providers from distributors and administered in the office or infusion center. Because these drugs don’t follow the traditional e-prescribing and pharmacy fulfillment workflow, health plans still receive many medical benefit prior authorization requests by phone, fax, or portal. This creates significant administrative burden for health plans, provider offices, and patients—and often leads to delays in care.
Agadia addresses this gap with electronic Medical Prior Authorization (eMPA) capabilities that streamline and automate medical benefit prior authorizations. By creating a more efficient digital pathway, Agadia helps reduce manual work, improve turnaround times, and clearly identify whether a drug falls under the pharmacy or medical benefit. Providers receive faster answers, hub partners gain operational efficiencies, and patients benefit from quicker access to therapy and improved adherence.
