So uh, how do I order inhalers without 10 rejections?

Pharmacists and other docs, given the new guidelines are to give ICS + SABA rescue to all asthmatics how do you get these ICS+ meds covered without sending all of them? Most of the midwest is on some sort of ICS/LABA and it's near impossible to find which one is covered. HFA vs diskus vs powder vs generic vs not generic vs purple vs red top etc.

What's the best way to communicate "give them a low/medium/high dose ICS/LABA And i don't give a hoot which one you give as long as it's cheap and covered by insurance". We use epic btw.

Also, albuterol--proair vs ventolin vs generic...epic has one order....
