Nimbus Health is a multistate pulmonary and sleep group caring for patients across five practices. For Director of Operations Aidan Anderson, his team’s biggest constraint was clear: prior authorizations (PAs) and medication access tasks consumed staff time, stalled workflows, and created friction whenever the organization offered more complex treatments.
The burden grew heavier each month as Nimbus prescribed more complex medications, including Zepbound for obstructive sleep apnea patients. Aidan knew the clinical need was clear, but the operational lift required to support these prescriptions was intimidating.
Nimbus needed a sustainable solution before expanding its care model.
Why Nimbus chose Forus
The team evaluated multiple prior authorization solutions, but only Forus offered a no-cost model paired with true end-to-end automation. It eliminated tasks that previously required constant staff involvement and provided clear visibility into the entire prescription process.
Nimbus started with the clinic that most needed support: once up and running, they saw fast results in their pilot. With that success, Aidan encouraged the rest of the Nimbus practices to use Forus, which would then facilitate prior authorizations, enroll patients in financial assistance when needed, and route prescriptions to the correct pharmacy.
The response from all the offices was the same: “Where can we sign up?”
Supporting scalable Zepbound prescribing
One of the most significant benefits of adopting Forus was Nimbus Health’s ability to support Zepbound prescribing for sleep apnea patients.
But with Forus, alleviating the administrative burden made prescribing Zepbound possible. Staff were no longer bogged down with long payer calls, manual form work, and repeated restarts when documentation was missing.
By automating the process and removing these barriers, Forus allowed Nimbus to confidently expand patient services while keeping operational costs under control.
A workflow that won teamwide support
Nimbus initially selected Forus for the operational and financial alignment. They stayed with it because their team genuinely preferred the new workflow.
