Why speed matters more than ever
In specialty therapies, the countdown starts the moment a prescription is written. Every day a patient waits for benefit verification, prior authorization, or appeal resolution increases the risk of therapy abandonment. Providers grow frustrated. Manufacturers lose momentum. And most importantly, patients lose precious time.
Where programs get stuck
Traditional access workflows are riddled with bottlenecks:
- Manual benefit verification phone calls that can drag on for days.
- Prior authorizations routed by fax, bouncing between payers and providers.
- Appeals bogged down by repetitive, manual paperwork.
Each step adds friction, and together they can stretch what should be days into weeks.
The cost of delay
Slow access isn’t just an inconvenience. It leads to:
- Patients give up before they ever start therapy.
- Providers burning valuable staff time on administrative follow-up.
- Brands missing critical windows to establish adherence and loyalty.
How technology changes the equation
Purpose-built platforms like HealthPACER® streamline every stage of access:
- Automated benefit verification (BV): Cuts manual calls and reduces verification time from days to hours.
- Built-in ePA: Replaces fax-based workflows with direct payer integration.
Appeals automation: Reduces repetitive administrative steps while ensuring full documentation. - Real-time reporting: Offers visibility across cases, so issues can be escalated and resolved quickly.
