Discharge Medication Price Checks – New Workflow Starting Sunday, March 6th – When e-prescribing discharge medications for a patient, Epic’s Real Time Prescription Benefits (RTPB) can be used to prescribe the most cost effective medication for the patient. Occasionally, RTPB may not provide cost information, prompting the need for an e-prescription to the Pharmacy for a price check. The NMH Prescription Price Check Workflow should be followed under those circumstances which involves paging the Galter Walgreens Pharmacy for price check assistance. Medications that are not intended to be dispensed to the patient must be verbally communicated to the pharmacy and cancelled in Epic so the cancellation (Cancel Rx) message is sent electronically to the pharmacy.
The tip sheet on how to use this is included below for reference.
