UPMC Partners With RxRevu To Develop Consumer-Centered Initiative To Reduce Out-Of Pocket Prescription Drug Costs For UPMC Health Plan Members

UPMC, a large health insurer in western Pennsylvania, implemented a new technology in partnership with RxRevu to enable its physicians to help individuals lower prescription drug costs based upon their insurance coverage. By giving UPMC physicians real-time access to a consumer's benefit levels through UPMC Health Plan, clinical professionals can consider lower-cost alternatives when writing prescriptions. In addition to potentially lower costs, individuals can also avoid delays associated with obtaining prior authorizations needed for certain prescriptions.

UPMC and UPMC Health Plan operate as an integrated delivery and finance system (IDFS), improving the outcomes and experiences of consumers . . .
