How to Document Consent to Receive Medication History from SureScripts

Medication History pulls data for that specific client from the Pharmacy Benefit Manager, SureScripts, and provides a comprehensive list of prescriptions that have been filled for the customer (from any prescribers within or outside of the organization). This data is held by the national Pharmacy Benefit Manager and that is the source of this information. This tab will populate with all the client’s medication in the past two years, up to 100 medications. 

Note: This is referencing Medication History tab, not Medication History button.

Aside from technical set up (e.g. SureScript connection), two factors are required for the medication history to populate, consent and medication visit.

Medication Visits

A process will gather medications from the Pharmacy Benefit Manager. The process will look for any clients that have a scheduled medication visit in 72 hours. Your System Administrator will setup any procedure codes that are considered Medication Visits on the back-end of the system.
