For PBMs Formulary & benefits
Member and prescriber calls

Coverage confirmed while the caller is still on the line.

The highest-volume question on a pharmacy benefit line, asked by members at the counter and by prescribers' offices before they write. Both get a current, accurate answer from your live formulary.

HIPAA compliant Live from your formulary system Signed BAAs
Two callers, two answers

The same lookup, said two different ways

A prescriber's office wants precision: tier, quantity limits, step therapy rules. A member wants to know what they will owe at pickup. We script both from the same live formulary.

For prescribers

Verification before the pen touches paper, in the language a front office uses.

Formulary tier and status

Whether a drug is on formulary, at what tier, and under which plan.

Quantity limits and step therapy

Limits and step rules that apply, and what a covered alternative looks like.

Preferred alternatives

Lower-tier options on the same formulary when one exists.

Days supply and refill timing

Allowed days supply and the earliest refill-too-soon date for the member.

For members

Plain language, no NDC codes, no reading a benefit summary aloud.

Is my medication covered?

A direct answer about the drug they are asking about, not a formulary binder.

What will it cost me?

Copay by tier and days supply, in dollars, at retail or mail order.

ID cards and plan documents

Cards reissued and formulary documents sent by text or mail on the call.

Where can I fill this?

Handed straight into pharmacy search when they need a name.

81%of in-scope provider calls handled without staff at Acuity Group. Pharmacy and member lines run on the same EHVAhealth service.

Common questions

Formulary & benefits, answered

Where does the formulary data come from?

Live from your formulary or benefit platform through its API, so callers hear the current tier and rules. If your platform cannot expose an API, we agree an alternative data path during onboarding.

Can it quote member copay accurately?

It gives copay by tier and days supply from your data, and is careful to frame estimates as estimates where the final amount depends on adjudication at the point of sale.

How is caller authentication handled?

To your rules. We configure exactly what identifiers are required and what may be disclosed to a prescriber's office versus a member versus an authorized representative.

Does it explain step therapy and quantity limits?

Yes, it reports the limits that apply to a given drug and plan, and can offer a preferred alternative on the same formulary when one exists.

What about multiple formularies across plans?

Plan-specific formularies are part of configuration. A handful of formularies takes less time to set up than dozens, and we scope that honestly up front.
