In the already-complex world of healthcare, one area stands out as having overly byzantine and convoluted workflows: the specialty medication enrollment process. Providers and care teams are often bogged down by endless paperwork, navigating numerous portals, and managing a myriad of tasks just to submit a single enrollment. At RxLightning, we understand these pain points and have developed innovative technology to streamline the entire process, empowering providers to focus more on patient care and less on administrative tasks.
Specialty medications offer hope and improved outcomes for countless patients, but the enrollment process can be a frustrating maze that needs to be improved. It is time to revolutionize specialty medication enrollment by bringing simplicity and efficiency to provider workflows.
Creating a Digital Enrollment Experience
With all of the advancements in interoperability, digital technology, and data standards, we are finally nearing a point in which we can eliminate paper forms and manual data entry from provider workflows. With a fully-digital, automated enrollment experience, providers can say goodbye to paperwork and hello to efficiency. The RxLightning platform, for example, boasts over 1,600 digitized medication forms, spanning across various manufacturers, brands, pharmacies, and support programs. This comprehensive database and consistent submission workflow eliminates the need to search through multiple portals, saves valuable time, and reduces the risk of submission errors.
With the ability to find, complete, and submit forms 100% digitally, phone and fax and finally be a thing of the past. Digital forms can be selected from a searchable list, and submitted to any destination, including manufacturers, hubs and patient services organizations, foundations, and specialty pharmacies. These digital forms also eliminate back-and-forth communications that occur when fields or paperwork are missing, while CRM functionality keeps a log of all enrollments, statuses, and next steps. By leveraging this digital, repeatable experience, providers and their teams improve efficiencies, patient and provider satisfaction, and speed-to-therapy.
Integrated Affordability Options
One of the most significant challenges in specialty medication access is patient affordability. RxLightning simplifies the affordability journey by integrating options for Patient Assistance Programs (PAP), copay assistance, and foundation support within one integrated portal. Providers can seamlessly explore and identify the best affordability options for their patients, without having to navigate multiple platforms or portals. This approach not only enhances patient access to medications, but also reduces administrative burden for care teams.
As mentioned in our recent blog, in order to effectively support patients through the medication access journey, providers and care teams must be aware of – and be able to enroll patients in – a variety of affordability options. Importantly, providers can easily enroll patients in foundation grant programs, enabling scripts to be filled within their pharmacy network and driving a cohesive care experience. Only best-in-class technology can aggregate and facilitate the selection of options that are most pertinent to patients.
Streamlined Consent Collection
In addition to simplifying enrollment workflows and providing affordability options, streamlining consent capture with HIPAA-compliant signature collection is an essential step in medication onboarding. Providers can expedite the submission process by securely collecting patient signatures electronically in the office, or via SMS/email. This eliminates the need for manual paperwork, faxing, and avoidable patient visits. By collecting signatures via a digital approach, providers can not only accelerate the enrollment process, but facilitate the initiation of manufacturer and hub support to help with downstream barriers like prior authorization, pharmacy selection, and more.
Our blog on the value of collecting patient consent includes data and insights on how digital consent processes result in higher rates patient engagement, increased speed-to-therapy, and adherence – since collecting signatures empowers support services to assist patients throughout the medication access journey.
