The Biologics PA Problem Is Getting Worse

Rising drug costs have made dermatology a prime target for aggressive payer PA requirements. Your patients with psoriasis, eczema, and other conditions suffer the consequences.

Biologic Approval Delays

Biologic PAs can take up to 31 business days to complete. Your psoriasis and atopic dermatitis patients suffer flares and disease progression while waiting for payer approval.

High Denial Rates

Complex derm PA requests face denial rates as high as 51%. Even biologics, the standard of care for moderate-to-severe psoriasis, are denied 21% of the time initially.

Costly Administrative Overhead

Individual biologic PAs can cost your practice up to 106% of the associated visit reimbursement. Staff spend 169+ hours per month just on PA processing.

Patient Abandonment

12% of patients abandon treatment and 17% are forced onto less effective alternatives. Patients with chronic skin conditions need consistent access to their prescribed therapy.

Greenlight understands the unique challenges of dermatology, from biologic step therapy requirements to specialty pharmacy coordination.

Biologic-Specific Rules

Our engine knows formulary requirements for adalimumab, secukinumab, dupilumab, risankizumab, and every major biologic, including biosimilar substitution rules and payer preferences.

Step Therapy Documentation

Specialty Pharmacy Coordination

Greenlight integrates with specialty pharmacy PBMs to coordinate biologic PA submissions, track fill status, and ensure patients receive their medication without gaps in therapy.
