Problem
Specialty medication prior authorization processes are often manual, relying on faxes and emails, which leads to significant staff time expenditure and delays in prescription fulfillment. These manual workflows are prone to errors and lack integration with electronic health record (EHR) systems, creating inefficiencies for infusion centers and specialty pharmacies.
Solution
Lamar Health automates prior authorization workflows for specialty medications by extracting data from faxes, emails, and DirectTrust connections, and integrating it directly into EHRs and practice management solutions. The platform verifies patient eligibility and in-network status, surfaces payer requirements, and flags missing information such as incorrect ICD-10 codes or gaps in clinical documentation. By auto-populating prior authorization forms and providing real-time feedback on payer policies, Lamar Health reduces the time and errors associated with the prior authorization process. The system provides a unified dashboard to view all submissions and covers both medical and pharmacy benefits, allowing pharmacists, operations, and sales to collaborate in one view.
