Prior authorization network connecting EHRs, pharmacies, and health plans
CoverMyMeds operates a large-scale prior authorization (PA) network with 350+ EHR integrations, 50,000+ pharmacies, and nearly 1M providers. The tech stack reveals a company mid-migration: Oracle and PostgreSQL for core systems, Azure adoption accelerating (SQL, SQL Managed Instance), paired with heavy data and BI infrastructure (Snowflake, Tableau, Power BI, Informatica, Reltio). Active projects span platform modernization, MDM implementation, and BI CI/CD — signaling engineering effort around legacy consolidation rather than greenfield innovation.
