Electronic prescribing

As a health care leader, Aetna is committed making the health care system better and safer. We are involved in a variety of initiatives to help bring electronic prescribing to physician practices. They include:

• Allscripts ePrescribe Platinum software now available at no cost to Aetna physicians. As part of Aetna’s agreement with CVS Caremark, Aetna physicians may enroll to use ePrescribe Platinum. The software requires no download, no new hardware and only minimal training. Sign up and start e-prescribing today. Learn more.
• Sharing comprehensive patient information through Surescripts^®. We offer physicians access to information they can use at the point of care. You can pull up Aetna’s formulary and a patient’s coverage requirements as you prescribe. Learn more. 
• Immediate access to Aetna's prescription drug formularies with Epocrates Rx. Get free access to our formularies, dosing, contraindications, drug-to-drug interaction checker, as well as information on more than 1,200 diseases and conditions. Download these tools onto a mobile device or access them online. Learn more.
