eRx NOW™ Benefits for Physicians

the safety of every prescription written. eRx NOW can
perform the following processes:
- Drug-to-drug interaction check
- Patient allergy check
- Formulary compliance check

time in prescribing documentation, transmission, filing,
billing, and numerous telephone conversations regarding
lost, illegible and non-formulary prescriptions with
the pharmacy.
