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?

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.
