Product
Problem
Getting a new medication from prescription to patient is slow and unreliable, with administrative steps like insurance authorization, financial assistance enrollment, and pharmacy routing creating significant delays. Even after FDA approval, many eligible patients never receive treatment due to a system not built for the complexity of modern medicine.
Solution
Forus provides an AI-powered network that automates every step between a clinical decision and a patient starting treatment, including prior authorizations, buy-and-bill support, appeal letters, enrollment forms, pharmacy routing, benefit verifications, and patient communication. The platform is free for doctors and patients, works with any EHR, and supports every drug, insurance, and pharmacy in all 50 states. By embedding into physician workflows, Forus reduces turnaround times from weeks to hours, allowing providers to reclaim clinical time. The network also provides biopharma companies with insights into how medicines perform, enabling better research, more effective drug launches, and investment in harder-to-treat conditions.
Target Audience
Primary users are healthcare providers, including physicians and practice staff, who need to reduce administrative burden and accelerate patient access to medications. The platform also serves biopharma companies seeking real-world insights into drug performance and launch effectiveness.
