Dermatology prescribing is uniquely complex
Biologic access often requires prior authorization
Approvals often depend on clean documentation of diagnosis, severity, prior therapies, chart notes, and payer-specific clinical criteria.
Payer rules change constantly
Dermatology teams have to navigate different forms, step edits, preferred products, and renewal requirements across plans.
Specialty pharmacy routing creates delays
Patients can get stuck when prescriptions move between pharmacies, hubs, payers, and support programs.
Patients need affordability assistance
Dermatology medications can be expensive, and therapy starts often depend on navigating copay cards, bridge programs, coupons, and pharmacy selection

Case study · Dermatology
How Optima Dermatology cleared a 500+ task backlog to zero without losing the human touch
Optima Dermatology adopted Forus to grow biologic prescription volume while keeping care personal. They cleared hundreds of backlogged tasks, moved to same-day PA initiation, and gave their team time back for patients instead of paperwork.
“It reduces delays in care between Rx being written and delivery to patients. It’s a no-brainer. We need to be in front of patients, not behind computers.”
