I understand that you don’t have the information. But the information is retrievable, just with way more delay than we need.

Each time I talk to you, to get a new prescription for the next-best thing, it costs me about $100.

If we could get all the information systems good enough, you could prescribe, insurance could quote, and you could re-prescribe in seconds.

Unfortunately, most health insurance plans have a separate sub-company manage the pharmacy benefits and we have absolutely zero way of accessing their systems. It would be lovely if we could see what your insurance would cover immediately as we prescribe it, but that also runs into the problem of us not having any control over the actual pharmacy and their billing and pricing.
