Formulary Hosting
Overview
Epocrates puts your formulary in the hands of our vast physician network at the time the prescription is about to be written. We integrate up-to-date formulary information into our mobile and web-based clinical references, enabling easy access to integrated formulary and drug information at the point of care. Providers can verify formulary status and co-payment tiers, view alternative and generic substitutions, check quantity limits, and look up prior authorization requirements when making prescribing decisions.
Epocrates offers formulary-hosting services to hospitals and public and private sector health plans.

Hospitals
