Equip FRMs with the Right Tools to Unlock Patient Access

In the modern healthcare landscape, multiple daunting challenges muddy pharmaceutical manufacturers’ ability to ensure patients have timely and uncomplicated access to high-quality care and life-altering medications. A plethora of obstacles can impede the processes of finding an appropriate HCP or specialist, receiving a diagnosis and obtaining proper treatment. Because the patient journey can present numerous roadblocks, many patients find themselves stranded without the therapies they need. 

One primary hurdle obstructing the path to patient access is the ambiguity surrounding insurance coverage. Patients and healthcare providers (HPCs) alike grapple with the uncertainty of which medical and pharmacy expenses are covered, often resulting in unexpected out-of-pocket costs. This lack of clarity not only poses financial burdens but also impedes efficient access to essential therapies. 

Similarly, procuring prior authorizations (PAs) can be a tangled web of complexities. From intricate medical exceptions to convoluted appeals processes, patients and providers face a myriad of obstacles while seeking PAs that delay access to treatment. 

Furthermore, the roles of sales teams and field reimbursement managers (FRMs) are often segregated in a way that lacks synergy and hampers access. Limited access to relevant data or an overwhelming abundance of information also stifles the ability to address access barriers in real-time, impeding field and patient services teams and perpetuating the cycle of patient frustration. 

Traditionally, manufacturers have attempted to tackle these challenges through disparate vendors, each addressing a specific aspect of the access journey. However, this fragmented approach often exacerbates existing inefficiencies, resulting in conflicting priorities, low performance and unmet patient needs.
