| TAMPA, Fla., June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MHK (formerly MedHOK – Medical House of Knowledge) is proud to announce that the Surescripts® Electronic Prior Authorization solution is now integrated with the MHK CareProminence™ platform. Together, MHK and Surescripts provide real-time integration of two industry-leading solutions to significantly improve efficiencies for health plans managing pharmacy benefits.
MHK’s integration with Surescripts, a leading nationwide, health information network, connects health plans utilizing MHK’s CareProminence platform directly to EHRs and providers to automate and streamline prior authorization requests. The integration also provides health plans with the upfront screening of all prior authorizations, as well as faster turnaround for real time clinical decision making. Surescripts Electronic Prior Authorization integrates directly with EHRs, enabling healthcare professionals to easily obtain prior authorizations in real time at the point of care. By automating this time-consuming manual process, MHK will help care providers eliminate paper forms, faxes and phone calls, and enable them to answer only relevant patient-specific questions with patient data already pre-populated, giving them more time with patients. As of the end of 2018, EHRs representing 77% of providers had signed on for Surescripts Electronic Prior Authorization, giving them access to data supplied directly from PBMs and health plans covering 89% of U.S. patients. The Surescripts Prior Authorization Portal provides a free, online way to easily submit fully electronic prior authorization requests right away, even if the service is not yet available within a provider’s EHR. “MHK’s integration with Surescripts demonstrates MHK’s commitment to enhancing our solutions through strategic partnerships with market-leading companies in support of our mission to drive better member care through an integrated platform,” said Gary Stuart, president of MHK. “Direct integration with Surescripts connects our customers to a large network of providers for a seamless and efficient ePA process.” “Our integrated and streamlined approach to electronic prior authorization empowers healthcare professionals with actionable patient intelligence to enable safer and more affordable prescriptions,” said Ryan Hess, vice president of product innovation at Surescripts. “Surescripts’ end-to-end capabilities enhance medication adherence, reduce time delays, and improve patient and provider satisfaction by reducing the administrative hassle associated with the prior authorization process.” About MHK (Formerly MedHOK – Medical House of Knowledge) About Hearst Health
