Fingertip Drug Coverage

The app is clunky at best. The website was a better experience compared to the app. For a new user it is extremely confusing, there is no way to look up definitions of acronyms - what is QL? Additionally, after trying to look up multiple drugs on a formulary - the app stops working properly.

I am being forced to use this horrible app and can’t get anything done. My job (and my patients) are now suffering because of it. This is not user error, this is simply a bad app. Please give us the web version back!

This is much less user friendly and more time intensive compared to the website version. Not having access to the PDF version of formularies is a major loss. Thank you for the good run, Formulary fingertip. You’d made my job a little easier these past years. Guess it’s back to CTRL-F’ing google for individual formularies. Good luck everyone!

Everytime I have to search for a new drug I have to close out the app and start over. Half my team can’t get access to the app because their credentials are not recognized. Many insurance formularies will use generic names for drugs that are still brand only and this app does not account for that, telling me it’s not covered when it is. There are drugs missing from the drop down list. There are drug classes missing from the drop down list. Without the website we have lost access to the hyperlinked PDF files meaning if there is a mail order stipulation or capsules versus tablets issue, I can no longer resolve that for my patients. Everytime I use the app I have to submit a bug report to the company. This is getting ridiculous and directly impacting my patient’s care on a daily basis.

This as a terrible decision to move away from a website. The app is no where near as extensive or user friendly. No longer shows tier status like the web version did. Limits to only 2 drugs to search at a time (terrible when trying to explore if Mounjaro, ozempic or trulicity is preferred). Overly cumbersome and clunky to ever get to any decision about even a single med. We used the website daily in our clinic. Phones are discouraged for use and not allowed at all for staff, so for many reasons it’s just really really unfortunate that the decision was made to move to app only. You’ve lost us as supporters even though we were long time fans.

I tried to use this several years ago and found it was…not worth the extra time and effort it took to be minimally useful. Now that I am being forced to switch to this because you are getting rid of the web version, I may need to find a new product. For a horribly busy clinician, there is no benefit to having to look up every single drug individually that I may have to try. Having access to the formularies meant I could have 1 favorite drug, find the name of the necessary formulary and figure out what other drugs were covered if not the one I wanted wasn’t. Having this website was sometimes the only thing that I could count on going right during an encounter with a patient. SUPER frustrating that this is the best you can do after having the web version. This is simply not useful. Not sure if you asked practicing clinicians how useful this was before releasing it but having to sit in front of a patient and figure out what medication is covered while they move on to the next topic…trying to make this work is just a waste of the very limited time we have.

Can only save up to 5 meds or plans. No saved searches. No longer links out to formularies with limited information in search results.
