Change Healthcare Simplifies Billing to Bring More COVID-19 Testing Options to Consumers
Summary
Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services authorized licensed pharmacists to order and administer diagnostic tests for COVID-19. However, pharmacy testing was complicated by the fact that many states issued their own policy restrictions, and regulations continued to shift. When a customer requests a test, the pharmacist inputs their insurance information for payment prescreening in real time. “Simplifying the billing process for our customers helps pharmacies provide a critical community service and build an important new revenue stream.” The service is a natural expansion of Change Healthcare’s MedRx™ solution, which enables seamless pharmacy medical billing for items such as durable medical equipment, diabetic supplies, and immunizations. We provide data and analytics-driven solutions to improve clinical, financial, administrative, and patient engagement outcomes in the U.S. healthcare system.
