LTB (Likely to Benefit) Notifications

  • PrimeRx automatically alerts pharmacists when a Medicare Part D beneficiary is eligible for M3P through adjudicated claims.
  • These real-time notifications help modern pharmacies identify and support patients, particularly those over 65 years of age (eligibility may vary by Part D sponsor).

Pharmacy Management System (PMS) Updates

  • Multilingual LTB Notices: PrimeRx enables pharmacy staff to print “Likely to Benefit” notices in the patient’s preferred language (currently available in English and Spanish) directly from the adjudicated claim results.
  • These notices are provided at the point of dispensing, ensuring patients understand the M3P enrollment process.

M3P Enrollment Assistance

  • LTB notices include step-by-step instructions to help patients enroll in M3P through their Part D sponsor.
  • Once enrolled, PrimeRx automatically updates billing systems to reflect the patient’s M3P status, whether their copay is $0 or higher.
  • If a patient opts out of the program, PrimeRx captures this preference and communicates it to the Part D sponsor, maintaining an accurate record.

Ensuring Regulatory Compliance

  • PrimeRx guarantees adherence to CMS regulations by facilitating timely delivery of LTB notices, ensuring accurate patient communication, and maintaining seamless coordination with Part D sponsors.
  • The ability to automatically notify the primary payer that the claim is submitted to M3P insurance is a compliance requirement that can trigger audits.
