The Problem
Prescription data flows through too many hands with too little protection
A single prescription touches prescribers, PBMs, clearinghouses, mail-order fulfillment centers, and payers before it reaches the patient. Each handoff is a potential breach point, and traditional encryption does not travel with the data.
Clearinghouses and PBMs hold plaintext prescription data that is highly targeted by ransomware groups.
Formulary and adjudication workflows require sharing PHI with multiple parties who each represent an independent breach risk.
Specialty pharmacy and mail-order operations depend on third-party logistics partners who are outside your security perimeter.
A single breach in the dispensing chain can expose years of medication history for millions of patients.
