How are Therapeutically Similar SmartAlts™ Determined?

The therapeutically similar alternatives are determined for a particular drug or product regardless of pharmacy benefit plan based upon a broad array of published information as reviewed and approved by the Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee. Also, the clinical team reviews additions, deletions and modifications every week.

A review of FDA approved indication(s) and information supplied by the FDA is assessed. Then, peer reviewed scientific literature such as the following is referenced:

  • New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)

  • Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)

  • Journal of Managed Care & Specialty Pharmacy (JMCP)

  • Results of clinical trials (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/)

  • Criteria developed by specialty societies such as American College of Rheumatology

  • Guidelines adopted by other health care organizations such as Cleveland Clinic

  • Guidelines suggested by independent reviewers such as ICER (Institute for Clinical and Economic Review)

  • And clinical databases such as Facts and Comparisons

The Power of Intelligent ePrescribing

Formulary & Benefit (F&B), Real Time Prescription Benefit (RTPB), and electronic Prior Authorization (ePA) are all tools to help make prescribing more efficient and cost conscious.

By displaying the benefit information at the point of decision, prescribers can make the most informed decisions about their patient’s prescription.

These tools help the provider optimize prescribing by selecting the lower cost, therapeutically similar medications with less coverage restrictions.
