Save More Patients Money on Prescriptions

We help health systems reduce patient Rx costs at enterprise scale, to improve fill rates & adherence for populations that need it most.

Fact: Many Prescriptions Go Unfilled

  • 30% of all new prescriptions are never filled1
  • Patients with low or moderate medication adherence are 2.54x more likely to re-admit3

Healthcare providers can do everything right, but if patients can’t fill & follow their prescriptions, treatment will likely fail.

Fact: Improving Adherence Helps All Four “P’s”

  • That’s why each of the major players have their own tactics to chip away at the cost of branded drugs for those that can’t afford them.
  • For example, Providers have their various existing Patient Assistance programs.

Another example: Pharma brands sponsor direct-to-consumer (DTC) discounts.

Fact: Manufacturer DTC Discounts Do Help

Unfortunately, only a relatively small percentage of qualified patients take advantage of available Rx discounts today.

Why More Patients Don’t Use Rx Discounts

  • They don’t know about them.
  • They won’t expend the time/effort.
  • They can’t access them.
    • Lack internet access or tech skills
    • Lack understanding of medical/insurance details
    • Lack reading level or language skills

Routinely, pharmacy staff spend precious time helping patients access these discounts.
This is not efficient, nor scalable, nor applied universally.

What if providers could automatically supplement their Patient Assistance Programs with pharma DTC discounts for all qualified patients?

Especially now, wouldn’t it be helpful to provide additional help?

Many Benefits for Health Systems

  • Better outcomes & reduced re-admissions
  • Better consumer experience/patient satisfaction
  • Increased retail pharmacy revenue
  • More equitable discount access across points of care
  • Decreased staff time per patient
  • Lower cost of care for self-insured employees
  • Lower charity costs & uncompensated care

A Unique Business Model

We understand health systems don’t have a lot of funds for additional help for patients, so we have landed on a unique model that takes the risk out for you.

Pharma sponsors the discounts, and pays us a small fee, because they believe it is worth it to increase adherence.

You have no ongoing costs, no subscription costs.

Your main cost is IT time for the integration project– possibly an additional data feed if you don’t have the ones we require.
