↑ 0%What CoverMyMeds LLC. learned at HIMSS 2026: the future of specialty care. HIMSS always provides a snapshot of where healthcare is heading - not in five years, but right now. HIMSS 2026 made one thing impossible to ignore: the industry is in the middle of a pivotal transition, driven by AI, automation and the accelerating complexity of specialty care. Across keynotes, exhibit hall conversations and hands-on demos, the message from health systems, technology leaders and innovators was consistent: specialty care teams need simpler, more connected ways to move patients from prescribing to therapy initiation and their expectations are changing fast. As someone who spends every day working with provider organizations, health systems and EHR partners, this year's conference felt like a clear turning point. Connectivity, interoperability and intelligent automation are now baseline expectations. CoverMyMeds came to HIMSS ready for that shift, and what CoverMyMeds LLC. heard this year reinforced just how essential that work is. Mar 15, 2026 10 min
CoverMyMeds has launched expanded Specialty Access and Affordability Solutions to accelerate patient access to specialty therapies. The new platform integrates benefits investigation, medical and pharmacy prior authorisation, and patient services enrollment into a single workflow. The solution addresses inefficiencies in specialty care, where teams currently use up to nine different applications to help patients access medications. Sixty-three per cent of clinicians identify these responsibilities as the most time-consuming, particularly for complex specialty treatments. The platform automates prior authorisation workflows across medical and pharmacy benefits, using clinical data from electronic health records to complete forms and submit documentation to insurers. It maintains visibility for providers and can integrate with hubs and specialty pharmacies. CoverMyMeds, part of McKesson Corporation, connects over 350 electronic health record systems, 50,000 pharmacies and one million providers.
RxLightning, now a part of CoverMyMeds, transforms how patients enroll in Patient Support Programs, while FastAuth brings automation and intelligence to CoverMyMeds’ medical prior authorizations.
Gift will support research projects for the Coordination of Care and Innovation strategic initiativeSCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The NCPDP Foundation announced today a new partnership with CoverMyMeds to support the Foundation's recently established fourth strategic initiative, which focuses on empowering Coordination of Care and Innovation."The NCPDP Foundation Board felt very strongly that our fourth strategic initiative should reflect the healthcare industry's shift to a team-based care model," said J.W. Hill, MBAHCM, CNED, Executive Director of the NCPDP Foundation. "From pharmacies and physicians to benefits managers and standards-makers like NCPDP, the need is recognized."A more interoperable approach to patient care—the heart of our Coordination of Care and Innovation initiative—is exactly the type of change needed to achieve the Foundation's vision of a healthcare ecosystem that continuously innovates and fully incorporates health information technology as a tool to deliver better outcomes for the common good of all," Hill concluded.While much progress has been made to streamline electronic documentation and information exchange in the last decade, there are still many underexplored opportunities to prove how pharmacists contribute to a patient-centered care model. Innovations that are on the horizon in digital therapeutics and pharmacogenomics will put even more emphasis on everything pharmacists do for patients outside of dispensing. The Founder's Gift for the Coordination of Care and Innovation initiative will support projects that show how pharmacists can close gaps in care."As a leader in breaking down barriers to medication access and affordability, CoverMyMeds understands the importance of collaboration and interoperability in delivering better patient outcomes," said Kristina Crockett, Vice President, Product, CoverMyMeds. "Our investment in research efforts that align with the NCPDP Foundation's Coordination of Care and Innovation initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to helping people get the medicine they need to live healthier lives
