CMM CoverMyMeds LLC operates an electronic prior authorization platform that automates communications between doctors, pharmacies, and payers to accelerate patient access to medications. Founded in 2008 by pharmacist Sam Rajan and developer Matt Scantland to address delays caused by manual prior authorization processes, the company has become an industry standard in healthcare IT. It now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of McKesson Corporation.
The platform achieves broad integration across healthcare infrastructure: it connects with 75% of electronic health record systems, over 50,000 pharmacies, 950,000+ healthcare providers, and most major health plans and pharmacy benefit managers. This integration depth enables the company to streamline workflows that historically involved numerous phone calls and faxes between healthcare participants.
In June 2025, CoverMyMeds acquired RxLightning to expand its capabilities in specialty medication access. The company's technical focus spans electronic prior authorization, EHR integration, pharmacy systems integration, and workflow automation aimed at reducing prescription abandonment and accelerating the speed to therapy for patients.
