    • A BlinkRx Specialist will follow up with your office to confirm BlinkRx is visible in the EMR

The majority of prior authorizations submitted for commercially insured patients are approved, which means a $0 copay for your patients.7

Here are some helpful reminders for completing prior authorization forms:

Include the diagnosis with the ICD-10 code. For example: 

  • E61.1 - iron deficiency
  • D50.0 - iron deficiency anemia secondary to blood loss
  • D50.8 - other iron deficiency anemias
  • D50.9 - iron deficiency anemia, unspecified

Fill out the Tried and Failed section, if applicable. 

BlinkRx Practice Access Managers can help set up PA preferences.

ICD-10 codes are provided for reference only. Their use does not guarantee that reimbursement will result.
