The challenge

Too many therapy starts stall before a prior authorization decision is made. Fragmented data across providers, pharmacies, hubs and payers limits early visibility—leading to late awareness and delayed intervention. Without a clear view of the patient journey, access issues can go unnoticed until prescriptions are already at risk, resulting in slower time to therapy and avoidable abandonment.

Field reimbursement services that keep patients moving forward

CoverMyMeds Field Reimbursement Managers (FRM) collaborate with providers, hubs and your brand team to prevent access breakdowns, help resolve barriers and build lasting improvements in how reimbursement is navigated. Our FRMs bring payer experience, therapeutic area knowledge and access and reimbursement visibility into the real-time patient journey – so intervention can happen at the first sign of delay.

  • Real-time visibility at the patient level

    Through integrated CoverMyMeds technology, our FRMs gain critical visibility at the patient level — including PA status, denial reasons and outcomes — enabling earlier intervention at the first sign of delay. 

  • Strategic education and field support​

    Our FRMs educate provider offices on payer requirements, billing and appeals — avoiding further delays and improving workflows so future patients move forward without delay.

  • Connection that moves access forward

    Field Reimbursement Managers connect your brand, sales, access teams, hubs and providers in real time — helping ensure access efforts stay aligned and don’t stall between stakeholders.

  • Barrier resolutions that last​

    Beyond resolving individual cases, FRMs help reinforce smarter reimbursement workflows —supporting long‑term improvements in how provider offices navigate access.

Proven impact at every stage of the patient journey

CoverMyMeds Field Reimbursement Services provide access to a network of integrated technologies, equipping our FRMs with visibility into the patient journey. This insight — combined with regional payer experience — enables FRMs to deliver meaningful education to provider offices. The results speak for themselves.

                      Stuck in Prior Auth limbo?

                      Prior Auth Overload: A medical office was struggling to navigate the prior auth process. With 11 open prior auths pending, the office staff were overwhelmed, hindering their ability to provide quality patient care.

                      Educational Support: A Field Reimbursement Manager (FRM) scheduled an educational lunch and learn with the office staff to provide guidance on how to streamline the process.

                      Streamlined Success: With the FRM’s educational support, the care team saw 6 of their 11 prior auths receive a positive determination.

                      Prior Auth Denial Crisis: A medical office was facing a challenging prior auth denial, causing delays and affecting patient care. The prior auth coordinator was struggling to navigate complex requirements, leading to frustration and wasted time.

                      Educational Intervention: A Field Reimbursement Manager (FRM) from CoverMyMeds provided educational support to help streamline the process.

                      Urgent Need: A provider reached out for help with a patient who urgently needed medication but faced several access barriers since they lived five hours away from the clinic.

                      Swift Action: The Field Reimbursement Manager (FRM) connected with the provider, researched nearby specialty pharmacies and organized a conference call between stakeholders to expedite the process.

                      Timely Care: With the help of the FRM’s efforts, the patient received their medication via overnight delivery from the specialty pharmacy, enabling them to start treatment sooner.

                      From Risk to Resolution – Fast

                      Medication Crisis: A specialty pharmacy incorrectly told a provider they weren’t REMS certified and couldn’t fill an e-script, putting a patient at risk of running out of medication. The patient had only a few days’ worth of medication left.

                      Clearing a Path Forward: A Field Reimbursement Manager (FRM) verified the provider’s REMS certification and discovered the issue was due to an incorrect NPI on the e-script. The FRM advised the coordinator to update the NPI and resubmit the claim.

                      Timely Delivery: The pharmacy updated the NPI, filled the prescription and arranged for delivery to the patient, ensuring they didn’t miss a dose. The FRM also educated staff on using the correct NPI to avoid future REMS issues.

                      Making an Introduction: A Field Reimbursement Manager (FRM) faced difficulties reaching a key point of contact at a health system, hindering the introduction of a new dashboard to bring value to the team.

                      Collaborative Approach: After making contact, the FRM scheduled a visit to educate the care team on the dashboard and discuss relevant use cases, ultimately building trust and strengthening their relationship.

                      Stronger Connections: The FRM established a strong working relationship with the health system, clarified preferred contact methods and proved their value, paving the way for continued communication and support.

                      Personalized Guidance: A Field Reimbursement Manager (FRM) investigated the denial, educated the office contact on the correct form and supporting documentation needed.

                      Approved and Delivered: The prior auth was approved one week later, ensuring the patient received the necessary medication. The FRM’s educational support helped to streamline the process.

                      Double Denial Dilemma: An office contact received prior auth denials from two different payers, both citing a lack of records showing patients had been on an ACE or ARB, a crucial requirement for a specific medication.

                      A Helping Hand: A Field Reimbursement Manager (FRM) educated the office contact on the drug's indication and the importance of ACE/ARB history and provided guidance on resubmitting the prior auths.

                      Double Approval Success: With the FRM’s educational support, the office contact was able to resubmit the prior auths with the necessary information, resulting in approvals from both payers and helping ensure patients receive their medications.
