Newly Embedded Prior Authorizations in the Parachute Platform Reduce Costs and Streamlines Administration for Health Plans, DME/HME Providers, and CliniciansNEW YORK, June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Parachute Health, the platform empowering simple DME and HME ordering, announces the launch of its groundbreaking collaboration with two of the largest healthcare companies to revolutionize DME ePrescribing and now prior authorization while reducing costs for health plans, DME providers and clinicians. Through the new platform functionality, Parachute Health now uniquely streamlines the prior authorization process to reduce friction at the point of care and improve patient outcomes.This collaboration solves the prior authorization burden that has long plagued clinicians and DME providers alike and resulted in significant delays, provider burnout, and patient dissatisfaction. The new integrated solution eliminates this pain point by embedding prior authorization workflows directly into the prescribing process. This liberates providers from an arduous back-and-forth authorization process, allowing them to focus on delivering exceptional patient care."Growing up in a healthcare family, watching my sister as a doctor, mom as a nurse, and family's pharmacy, I witnessed firsthand how time-intensive and opaque the process was to obtain an authorization. I am excited to be streamlining the ordering and authorization process by partnering with payors 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
