- 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.
