Judging by the number of private letters for patients commencing GLP-1 our coding team are getting currently, we imagine many of you are getting a bit bogged down by these. The process we recommend is our coding team will add a code for anti-obesity medication started and send to the pharmacy team for them to add the medication into the patient’s record (for contra-indications, etc). Many practices send a comms out to the patient to make them aware you have been informed and their record has been updated. To assist with this process, we have added a search/report for Insight Members to download to identify all patients started on GLP-1 medication.
With the news this week practices can now start to prescribe GLP-1 for eligible patients, we imagine you have been inundated with requests. To assist, we have produced a search/report for Insight Members to identify eligible patients – so you can flag their records or make contact with them as per your practice protocol.
