Give your team hours back.
Get patients on therapy faster.
Forus supports every biologic, topical, and generic that you prescribe, so your patients can get access to their medications faster.
Eliminate the portals, faxes, and follow-up
calls behind every prescription.
Medication access is broken, taking your team’s time away from patient care.
Prior authorizations are a constant burden in Dermatology.
Biologics, branded topicals, and even generics require prior authorization with supporting documentation, including BSA or PASI, DLQI scores, and treatment history.
Requirements change across plans, drugs, and diagnoses.
Preferred products, step-therapy rules, and reauthorization criteria change frequently in Dermatology, so teams must continually recheck what each payer requires.
Specialty pharmacy routing is a puzzle.
Getting a Tremfya, Skyrizi, or Bimzelx prescription to the right pharmacy means navigating opaque payer requirements, patient preferences, and manufacturer programs.
Patients rely on affordability support for Dermatology drugs.
Coupons, copay cards, and support programs such as Dupixent MyWay® each have separate eligibility rules, forms, portals, and deadlines.
Automate every step between
prescribing and starting treatment.
Forus helps your team manage a growing volume of prior authorizations by automating manual tasks, tracking every prescription, and keeping your patients informed.
Control over clinical decisions.
You choose the right therapy for each patient. Forus handles the medication-access work around it, while you stay in control of every clinical decision.
