BlinkRx e-Pharmacy

3 Simple Steps for Providers

With BlinkRx e-pharmacy, you can reduce your administrative burden and help your patients access ACCRUFeR at an affordable price.

Step 1: Choose BlinkRx to help your patients save

BlinkRx e-pharmacy works for patients with all insurance types, with the following out-of-pocket costs:

  • Commercially insured patients pay $0 if covered by insurance, $39-$75 depending on prior authorization and coverage
  • Medicare patients pay $39
  • Medicaid rates vary by state
  • Uninsured patients pay $75

Step 2: Select BlinkRx in your EMR 

BlinkRx is already in your electronic medical record system.

Start by searching for “BlinkRx” in the EMR system’s pharmacy search tool

BlinkRx is listed as BlinkRx U.S. Boise, Idaho

BlinkRx address: 4696 West Overland Road, Suite 274, Boise, ID 83705

BlinkRx phone: 1 (844) 926-2480

BlinkRx fax: 1 (866) 585-4631

NCPDP number: 1310488

  • Confirm both “mail order” and “retail” pharmacies are selected when conducting a search
  • Verify that any other limiting search criteria are unselected

If you are unable to locate BlinkRx in the EMR, view more information in the next tab.

Here’s what to do if you can’t find BlinkRx in the EMR:

  1. Manually add BlinkRx to the EMR
  • Locate the “new” or “add” button in the pharmacy selection screen
  • Input all relevant BlinkRx details (see instructions in the “How to search for BlinkRx” tab above)

If you are unable to manually add a pharmacy to the EMR, proceed to Step 2.

  1. Coordinate with a BlinkRx Specialist at 1 (844) 926-2480
  • A BlinkRx Specialist will request your EMR system (ie, Athena, SRS, Epic)
  • A BlinkRx Specialist will coordinate with the EMR and your office to load BlinkRx into the system—EMR updates may take 24 hours to process
  • A BlinkRx Specialist will follow up with your office to confirm BlinkRx is visible in the EMR

Step 3: Submit a PA with support from BlinkRx

BlinkRx e-pharmacy simplifies the PA process by helping you set up PA preferences and guiding your staff through the process.

Most prior authorizations submitted for commercially insured patients are approved, which means a $0 copay for your patients.7 Below are some helpful reminders for completing prior authorization forms.

Include the diagnosis with the ICD-10 code.† For example: 

  • E61.1 - iron deficiency
  • D50.0 - iron deficiency anemia secondary to blood loss
  • D50.8 - other iron deficiency anemias
  • D50.9 - iron deficiency anemia, unspecified

Fill out the Tried and Failed section, if applicable. 

† ICD-10 codes are provided for reference only. Their use does not guarantee that reimbursement will result.
