Session Overview:

Health insurance providers are under increasing pressure to improve quality performance, reduce provider abrasion, and close gaps in care across large, diverse populations—often with limited operational lift. This session examines how payer operators are moving beyond manual outreach and point‑to‑point communication by using pharmacy fill data and network event signals to systematically identify risk, prioritize gaps and trigger timely provider action.

Find out more about how Surescripts is helping health plans address some of the biggest challenges impacting their members, including:

• Closing gaps in care and improving medication adherence across member populations. Care managers often lack a complete picture of what medications their members are actually taking, making it difficult to spot adherence issues or intervene before small problems become costly ones. Surescripts provides timely, comprehensive medication history so care teams can help close gaps early.
  
  
• Keeping providers informed about coverage changes, formulary updates and other plan-critical information. When formulary changes or coverage updates don't reach providers in time, members face delays at the pharmacy, abandoned prescriptions and frustrating care disruptions. Surescripts enables secure, HIPAA-compliant communication between health plans and the providers serving their members, so the right information gets to the right clinician at the right time.
  
  
• Accessing a complete, nationwide view of member medical records to support better decisions and close care gaps. Health plans need current clinical information from across the care continuum to power risk adjustment, quality programs, utilization management, and care coordination — but that data is scattered across networks. As a designated QHIN under TEFCA, Surescripts Health Information Network LLC^TM through Interconnect^TM gives health plans a single connection point to access up-to-date medical records from health information networks nationwide.
