Challenge

While the HIT company could verify a patient’s medical coverage status, it was unable to accurately assess each patient’s prescription coverage. The company wanted to provide its clients with clarity on patients’ prescribing options to help physicians make informed prescribing decisions.

Doctors wanted to know in advance if a particular therapy was not covered, or required a step therapy before it would be approved. Manual methods of investigating prescription coverage were not scalable, as inconsistent health plan identifiers slowed the matching process.

Solution

While the company had access to Rx BIN/PCN/Group (BPG) data—identifiers used in claims processing to identify the correct payer, PBM and plan benefit structure for a patient—it could not leverage this data without submitting a claim for processing.

The company turned to MMIT for help, implementing its Bridging as a Service solution, which maps BPG data to plan-level hierarchies within the comprehensive payer coverage and restriction data in MMIT’s Analytics.

Outcome

After bridging was complete, MMIT provided the HIT company with its own custom-built databases, crosswalk tables and APIs. Clients can now use the company’s platform in near-real time to identify a patient’s specific coverage details and eligibility requirements for any medication—without needing to submit a claim.

If prior authorization (PA) is required, the company can immediately retrieve the correct PA form and send any necessary criteria to the client, easing their administrative burden. Physicians who use the company’s platform can determine if patients are a good match for a particular treatment before they make a prescribing decision, saving patients both time and money.

FAQ

How can healthcare IT companies streamline prescription benefit verification?

Healthcare IT companies can streamline prescription benefit verification by integrating patient-specific insurance identifiers with comprehensive payer coverage data. MMIT’s Analytics and Bridging as a Service solutions connect Rx BIN/PCN/Group information to plan-level coverage and restriction details, enabling healthcare providers to verify prescription benefits, identify authorization requirements, and make informed prescribing decisions without submitting claims.

How did MMIT's Bridging as a Service improve the company's benefit verification process?

MMIT’s Bridging as a Service mapped Rx BIN/PCN/Group data to the payer hierarchies and coverage information available through MMIT Analytics. Through custom databases, crosswalk tables, and APIs, the healthcare IT company gained the ability to provide near-real-time prescription coverage details, eligibility requirements, and prior authorization information, reducing manual verification and administrative work.

What are the benefits of using BIN/PCN/Group data for patient-specific prescription coverage?

BIN, PCN, and Group numbers help identify the correct payer, pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), and prescription benefit structure for individual patients. By connecting these identifiers to plan-level coverage data, healthcare providers can identify formulary restrictions, step therapy requirements, and prior authorization needs before prescribing, helping reduce delays and improve patient access to appropriate treatments.
