Clinical Services for Safe, Cost-Effective Medication Use

At MaxCare, our Clinical Services combine proven utilization management strategies with innovative technology to ensure members access the most appropriate medications while helping control costs and improve outcomes. Our four core programs—Prior Authorization, Step Therapy, Quantity Limits, and SmartBlock—work seamlessly to promote safe, effective, and affordable pharmacy benefits.

Our Programs

Prior Authorization

A responsible review process that requires approval before coverage of select medications or services. This ensures treatments are clinically appropriate, helping prevent unnecessary or unsafe prescriptions.

Step Therapy

Guides members through a cost-effective treatment path, starting with proven first-line options before progressing to advanced therapies when medically necessary. This approach balances quality care with sustainable plan costs.

Quantity Limits

Sets clinically appropriate limits on medication dispensing to prevent overuse, reduce waste, and minimize risk, ensuring members receive the right amount of medication tailored to their needs.

SmartBlock

By excluding wasteful medications from our formulary, SmartBlock protects against high costs while ensuring access to effective, lower-priced alternatives, effectively mitigating overspending risks associated with manufacturer coupons.

$ 0 ,000

SmartBlock saved a current MaxCare client $147,000 in costs on ONE DRUG for ONE PATIENT in 2024.
