The New iAssist

No. One of the enhancements recently made is enabling the use of usernames. While email continues to be the preferred registration option, new users will be able to create a username instead.

The electronic signature that the doctor provides upon registration is used to complete patient enrollment forms, Prior Authorization forms, statements of medical necessity, and any other documents that require a signature.

The verification process authenticates the identity of all registered prescribers. The verification process uses a Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) system, which creates questions from information found in public records.

No. iAssist eliminates this step – when you electronically prescribe through iAssist, the enrollment forms are populated and sent to the appropriate manufacturer patient support program.

Yes. You can use iAssist for both refills and new prescriptions. With the patient’s information already stored in the system, refills can be processed much more quickly.

iAssist updates your patient’s file with relevant pharmacy information when the prescription is released to the pharmacy.

Many of our contracted specialty therapies are routed to manufacturer patient support programs before being released to the pharmacy. Once the prescription is released from the patient support program, iAssist displays the pharmacy on the Patient History page.

Yes. While in the desired patient’s profile, you can click on the Documents tab to view all documents for that patient. There are three ways to search for a patient to select: You can search for a patient using the search box at the top of the Dashboard page or click on Patients and Submissions in your top navigation bar and search the Patients tab. In the results list, click on the patient to see their profile.

No. When you click Find Eligibility, iAssist searches national insurance databases using the patient’s demographic information, then displays the available insurance plan information and pharmacy benefit manager information.

Yes. During the prescription stage of the workflow, you can select Submit Prior Authorization Form Only. You can submit an electronic prescription later, if needed.

Yes. During the prior authorization stage of the workflow, you can select No, skip the Prior Authorization and perform the ePA-only workflow for this patient at a later date. You can submit a Prior Authorization form later, if needed.

iAssist is dedicated to providing the greatest visibility possible into your patients. Today we are able to provide statuses when partnerships exist, however, this feature is not yet available for all medications. You can see available statuses for your patients in the Message Center. We will continue to expand our network and status offerings. Additionally, you will also continue to receive status updates from the manufacturer support program, specialty pharmacy, or payer.

Our Specialty Solutions team completes formulary reviews to ensure that the correct forms are presented for each medication contracted with iAssist.

iAssist is designed to support patients using specialty and complex therapy medications, and is tailored for specific pharmaceutical patient support programs. If you use a system other than iAssist, your patient may not be enrolled in these additional programs. iAssist is now available in some EHRs. Contact your EHR and ask about iAssist today!

If you access iAssist through one of our EHR partners, we are able to pull in your patient and prescription information – limiting data entry – as well as send documents and status updates back to your EHR. If you are accessing iAssist directly then you will not have an automated way to update your EHR. However, you can Print to PDF and save iAssist-generated forms for upload into your current EHR system.

You can print and scan, electronically fax, or save documents, then attach them to the patient record within iAssist.

When you are asked if the patient is available to provide a signature, if you select No, an EMAIL REMINDER feature appears, which allows you to enter the patient’s email address and send an email to obtain an electronic signature. You can also direct the patient to hipaaconsent.com, where they can provide an electronic signature.

To save the signed consent form, you must click Generate Consent Form, while in the medication workflow.
