Advanced medication search with comprehensive filtering options
HCP Interface Guide
This interface provides advanced filtering for detailed medication coverage and alternatives search.
- Filters (Category, Subcategory, Specialty, UPP Scope): You can select options in any order. The dropdowns will dynamically adjust to show only relevant choices based on other active filters, allowing you to build complex queries using an "AND" logic. For example, selecting "Category A" AND "Subcategory B" will show drugs that are in *both*.
- Search by Category: Filter by the broad therapeutic category of the drug.
- Search by Subcategory: Refine your search within a category by selecting a more specific subcategory.
- Search by Specialty (Generic Name): Further narrow down results by the active generic ingredient.
- UPP Scope: Filter drugs based on their "Under Preferred Provider" status.
- Coverage Status: Filter by the overall coverage status (Fully Covered, With Costs, Not Covered).
- Apply Filters: Click this button to apply all selected filters and update the results.
- Reset Filters: Clears all selected filters and resets the interface to its default state.
- Search by Specific Item: Use the search bar at the bottom to find a specific drug by name, generic code, or active ingredient, in combination with any active filters above.
- Drug Details: Click on any drug in the results list to view its comprehensive details, including coverage status, costs, and potential alternatives.
- Voice Search & Clear Search: These functions work similarly to the patient interface.
Feel free to experiment with different filter combinations to refine your search results.
