Electronic Prior Authorization
Overcoming Prior Authorization Hurdles
Activate end-to-end automation and power up specialty drug access with our integrated, all-in-one electronic prior authorization (ePA) technology.

WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CHALLENGES
Prior Authorization Bottlenecks Slow Patient Care
Time-consuming manual processes, frequent errors, delays in patient care … sound familiar? Clinicians often struggle to get payer approval for medications because of complex, plan-specific requirements and rework due to missing information. These inefficiencies reduce productivity, increase denial rates, and delay treatments, impacting both patient outcomes and your revenue.
WE HAVE YOUR SOLUTION
Intelligent ePA to Reduce Workflow Friction and Get Patients on Therapy Faster
Our technology eliminates the back-and-forth and streamlines the ePA process from start to finish, reducing manual work by 70%. Pharmacy and medical benefits are unified into a single workflow, giving providers one clear path to manage prior authorization regardless of benefit type.

The DrFirst Difference
AVOID
Avoid PA delays by ensuring the prescription is written correctly the first time—right quantity, right diagnosis code, right pharmacy. If a covered alternative exists, the system surfaces it in the workflow.
AUTOMATE
Automate by pulling patient data, clinical documentation, and payer-specific requirements directly from the EHR. While 60% of ePA questions can be answered with existing EHR data, DrFirst pushes that figure to 80% by surfacing targeted questions within the prescribing workflow.
ACCELERATE
Accelerate access by embedding decision logic into the workflow to suggest the next best action, surfacing qualifying pharmacies for specialty medications with LDNs, and providing real-time status tracking from submission to approval.
Prescribing Specialty Medications
Speed access to innovative drugs that bring hope to patients diagnosed with complex, chronic, or rare diseases.
