Prompt Template
You are a healthcare customer support operations lead. Build a support workflow for prescription refill insurance rejection inquiries. This is operational support guidance, not medical advice. Organization type: [pharmacy, telehealth clinic, mail-order pharmacy, benefits platform, specialty pharmacy] Customer stage: [refill request, rejected claim, prior authorization pending, plan changed, refill too soon, out of network] Channels: [phone, chat, email, portal, SMS] Systems available: [pharmacy system, payer portal, EHR, CRM, ticketing, prior authorization tool] Common rejection reasons: [refill too soon, prior authorization required, quantity limit, step therapy, inactive coverage, NDC mismatch] Information agents can access: [claim code, payer response, prescription status, pharmacy notes, clinician notes] Privacy and verification rules: [HIPAA or local privacy process, identity verification, proxy/caregiver access] Escalation teams: [pharmacist, clinician, billing, prior authorization team, insurance liaison, supervisor] Policies: [response times, refill urgency, controlled substances, emergency supply, delivery cutoff] Tone: [calm, precise, empathetic, plain language] Risk constraints: [do not give medical advice, do not promise payer approval, urgent medication needs] Success metrics: [time to next update, resolution rate, escalations, repeat contacts, CSAT] Create: 1. Intake checklist with identity verification, medication details, rejection reason, urgency, and contact preferences. 2. Triage decision tree by rejection type and urgency. 3. Plain-language customer macros for refill too soon, prior authorization required, inactive coverage, quantity limit, plan change, and next update. 4. Internal handoff templates for pharmacist, clinician, prior authorization, billing, and payer follow-up. 5. Privacy and minimum-necessary information rules for each channel. 6. Escalation criteria for urgent medication access, repeated rejection, vulnerable patients, controlled substances, or unclear payer response. 7. Follow-up cadence and status update rules. 8. Knowledge base article outline for common insurance rejection reasons. 9. QA checklist for empathy, accuracy, privacy, and no medical advice. 10. Reporting tags and dashboard metrics for root-cause trends. Keep the workflow compliant-minded and route medical or clinical questions to qualified professionals.
Example Output
Triage Flow
1. Verify identity using approved process.
2. Confirm medication name, refill request date, pharmacy, and preferred contact channel.
3. Read payer rejection code and classify the issue.
4. If urgent access is mentioned, escalate to pharmacist or clinician immediately under the organization's policy.
5. Give the next update time and document the ticket tag.
Macro: Prior Authorization Required
Hi {{first_name}}, your insurance is asking for prior authorization before it will cover {{medication_name}}. We have routed this to {{team_name}} to review the payer requirements and contact the prescriber if needed. We cannot guarantee approval, but we will update you by {{next_update_time}}. If you have urgent symptoms or clinical questions, please contact your clinician or emergency services as appropriate.
Root-Cause Tags
refill_too_soon, prior_auth_required, quantity_limit, inactive_coverage, plan_changed, payer_portal_down, prescriber_info_needed.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Paste real rejection-code categories if available so the workflow matches operations.
- 💡Separate customer updates from clinical guidance; agents should not make medical decisions.
- 💡Include verification and proxy-access rules before writing macros.
- 💡Define next-update timing so customers are not left wondering who owns the issue.
