How Cflow Can Help Automate the Process:
Automated Specialty Drug Verification:
Cflow automates the verification of specialty drug coverage requests by cross-referencing the prescribed medications against the policy’s terms and prior authorization requirements.

Specialty drug coverage approvals must comply with various legal and healthcare regulatory requirements, and Cflow helps insurers stay compliant by incorporating automated compliance checks into the approval process. This ensures that each request meets legal obligations, reducing the risk of non-compliance and potential legal issues.
