GeriMed
Overview
GeriMed is a PSAO that offers reports to pharmacies letting them know if they are being paid correctly by insurance. Their primary focus is working with LTC facilities.
Setup
There is no additional charge for this function, and there is no CallTracker activation needed.
There are no setup steps within BestRx.
As long as the pharmacy is creating nursing homes and linking patients to those homes, the data will be captured and forwarded as needed.
Note: This also applies if you receive an email from Gerimed about Nursing Home Flag set to ‘False’, make sure you are creating a nursing home and adding patients.

LTC Facility Info
Facility Name: Enter the name of the facility here.
Facility Code: This field is something that certain LTC facilities or pharmacies will use to designate between facilities. Very few pharmacies will need to use this field. If the pharmacy does not know the facility code, then they most likely do not need to use it or should contact the facility for the code.
Facility ID: The facility code is used when transmitting to insurance companies.
Contact Name: Enter the primary contact name at the facility.
Address Line 1/2: Enter the address of the facility.
City / State / Zip: Enter the City, State and ZIP code of the facility.
Phone: Enter the primary phone number of the facility.
Alt Phone 1/2: Enter alternate phone numbers for the facility if applicable.
Fax: Enter the facility's fax number.
Default Attending Physician: Enter the default attending physician at the facility. This option will apply the default attending physician to all patients for which this facility's been selected. The Default Attending Physician is the physician that attends to the patients at the . In some cases, this will be the same prescriber that is writing prescriptions for patients, but in some cases it won’t. Many times, patients see their own physicians for checkups and prescriptions and all the attending physician does is to look over the patients while they are at the LTC facility. If this has the same physician that looks over all or most of the patients in the facility, then you would select a prescriber for this field. Otherwise, you would leave this field blank. If a prescriber is entered into this field, they will default whenever a patient is linked to this LTC facility in the Patient File.
Default Alternate Physician: Enter the alternate physician at the facility. This option will apply the default alternate physician to all patients for which this facility's been selected. The Default Alternate Physician is similar to the Default Attending Physician. The alternate physician is just that, an alternate for when the normal attending physician is not at the facility.
Remark: Enter any desired remarks for the facility.
