Pharmacy Network
Through our partnership with Surescripts, Zus is proud to offer pharmacy-based medication history. This network covers 99% of US pharmacies and 324M+ patients. The service includes a 12 month history of dispensed medications based on paid claims and pharmacy data.

Zus will automatically refresh medication history for your patients
- Upon initial enrollment
- Before the appointments that you share with Zus
- After any 3rd party appointments we pull in from other providers on Carequality and Commonwell.
- After an ADT discharge
- 5 days after the expected refill date (as WhenPickedUp + daysSupply) of a previous fill
- Any time more than 36 days have elapsed between refreshes

MedicationDispense
Represents a medication being filled and provisioned to the patient
| FHIR Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| MedicationCodableConcept | The medication being filled, represented by its NDC code. Medications are further-enriched to include RxNorm codes when available. |
| Performer, Location | The pharmacy and physical location where the medication was filled, represented as a reference to both an Organization and a Location resource. |
| Authorizing Prescription | The medication order that authorizes this fill, represented as a reference to a MedicationRequest resource. |
| Type | "FF" = First Fill "RF" = Refill |
| whenPrepared | Represents when the pharmacy filled a given medication |
| whenPickedUp | Represents when the medication was picked up by the patient |
Additionally, raw reference data is stored as a DocumentReference/Binary linked to the patient for builders that prefer to process them on their own.
Missed Pickups
Any fill including a whenPickedUp date can be considered to be picked up by the patient. An empty value does not necessarily indicate a missed pick up, however, as the field is not always populated for fills sourced from claims data. Surescripts indicates claim reversals by simply removing the MedicationDispense from future history results.
