Health Market Science and Speed Script Announce Partnership

Health Market Science (HMS), a leading source for healthcare provider data and solutions, and Speed Script, a market leader in pharmacy automation and services, today announced a strategic partnership to provide pharmacies with a solution that mitigates the risk of submitting an erroneous claim by using an incorrect group practice address, an invalid prescriber identifier or submitting a prescription for a state or federally sanctioned prescriber.

The HMS-Speed Script relationship brings the pharmacy industry the expertise of two market leaders in pharmacy management technology and prescriber data solutions. HMS’s Prescriber MasterFile™ is integrated with Speed Script pharmacy management system, in order to offer customers the latest prescriber data which includes name, multiple addresses, phone, and fax, as well as compliance related data such as licensure, status, sanctions, and DEA prescriptive authority.

"We're delighted to be leveraging HMS’s Prescriber MasterFile in our solution," said Marcus Wilson, RPh., Executive Vice president, COO, Speed Script Pharmacy Management Systems and Services. "Our mutual clients have many challenges at the Rx point of service – from reducing wait time to keeping compliant with stricter state and federal laws. Through Speed Script, HMS’s compliance-grade prescriber data offers our clients the most dependable information to make rapid and confident decisions while mitigating risk."

The HMS Prescriber MasterFile is comprised of multiple prescriber demographics to ensure selection of the correct prescriber and information for a given Rx transaction as mandated by strict regulations.

"In addition to addressing compliance mandates, pharmacies are increasingly depending on technology and software to help drive efficiency," commented Craig Ford, Senior Vice President, Pharmacy sector, Health Market Science. "Speed Script provides robust workflows that leverage our Prescriber MasterFile to handle data discrepancies. In the past, pharmacists were forced to delay the claim submission to look up prescriber information and run the risk of entering the wrong information. Working with Speed Script to solve those challenges has been a win-win for our customers."
