Parachute Health: Parachute Health embeds authorization process

NEW YORK - Parachute Health has launched a partnership with Optum and Walgreens/CareCentrix to embed prior authorization workflows directly into the prescribing process, liberating providers from what's typically a back-and-forth process. "I am excited to be streamlining the ordering and authorization process by partnering with payers and building the necessary cost-controls to eliminate the current administrative burden that all stakeholders face," said David Gelbard, CEO and founder of Parachute Health. "As Parachute continues to scale our revolutionary open e-prescribing platform nationally, it is exciting that we are now able to embed prior authorizations into the point-of-care ordering process. Our platform is a mission-driven solution that benefits all stakeholders - reducing costs for payers, liberating clinicians from burdensome processes, and freeing providers to focus on what matters most: caring for patients." Parachute Health says it empowers more than 220,000 clinicians and 3,000 supplier locations to deliver exceptional patient care.
