Surescripts®, the nation’s leading health information network,
has been named the top technology solutions provider for Payer
Member Safety, PBM & Pharmacy Solutions according to a 2024
survey of health plans by Black Book Research.
“Bringing together stakeholders from across healthcare is how
the Surescripts Network Alliance® is simplifying health
intelligence sharing and empowering doctors and pharmacists,
pharmacy benefit managers, health plans and other organizations to
deliver better informed, safer and less costly care to patients,”
said Frank Harvey, Chief Executive Officer for Surescripts.
“We are proud to be recognized as a top technology solutions
provider for Payer Member Safety, PBM & Pharmacy Solutions by
Black Book Research and recognize that our impact depends on all of
the people and organizations who work together as part of the
Network Alliance to make healthcare better for patients and those
who care for them.”
Surescripts technology supports health plans by delivering
actionable patient insights that can help close care gaps and lower
the cost of care. Health intelligence sharing among payers also
supports clinicians, enabling better informed care decisions
alongside their patients.
One example is Surescripts Clinical Direct Messaging that
supports secure, direct communications between health plans and
providers related to medications or other care concerns. This
service was used by 881,070 pharmacists, prescribers, payers and
other healthcare organizations to send and receive secure,
HIPAA-compliant messages in 2023.
Another example is Surescripts Real-Time Prescription Benefit
that helps providers find more affordable prescription medications
before patients face sticker shock at the pharmacy, improving
medication adherence. In 2023, more than 60% of prescribers on the
Surescripts network used Real-Time Prescription Benefit to find
less costly medications for patients, resulting in an average
savings of $37 per prescription and $785 per specialty
medication.
