ProxsysRx’s pharmacy-based services to hospitals now includes a multi-benefit prescription savings card. One that helps make unaffordable drugs more affordable, while giving participating health systems (like Greenville, Texas’s Hunt Regional Healthcare) access to prescription-fulfillment data that’s commonly lost when patients use other prescription-savings cards.

The growing problem of insured prescription drug pricing

According to a 2018 study conducted by the University of Southern California Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics and reported by Kaiser Health News, 23% of the time, patients pay more for their prescriptions using their insurance coverage copay than they would have if they’d simply paid the cash price for their prescriptions.

The problem with other prescription discount cards

When patients use other prescription-discount services, their transactions are never reported back to the physicians who wrote those prescriptions — or to the health systems where they work. Not only is this bad for patients, who lose the potential follow-up support their providers often offer as part of their ongoing care for them, it’s bad for providers whose Value-Based Care scores are determined (in part) by patient-prescription adherence. 

MedServRx can solve both problems: Cost and reporting

MedServRx offers patients of participating health systems prescription-discount savings of up to 80% (sometimes even more), and draws-on multiple prescription discount networks to find the lowest price — whereas the most common drug discount cards draw-on a single network.

What’s more, all MedServRx-filled prescriptions come with the added benefit of the same prescription-fulfillment reporting their providers get when patients use their insurance coverage to fill prescriptions. Their prescription data is captured and shared with Medicare payers and patients’ healthcare providers, thus ensuring accurate reporting of health systems’ patient-adherence — while giving providers a clearer picture of their patients’ progress. 

MedServRx also provides activity reports at all levels. By drug, prescriber, patient, etc. Finally, MedServRx delivers Community Savings reports as part of its service to participating health systems. These reports detail savings created for the community by the hospital-sponsored prescription discount plan.

MedServRx’s advanced prescription price-comparison search capabilities

As with other discount cards, patients use MedServRx’s website(s) to compare prices for drugs by name. Additionally, MedServRx enables patients to search for prescription discounts by dosage quantity (or volume) and by method of delivery (IE: capsules vs. liquid). This added search capability gives patients the advantage of true price comparison based on their individual needs.

MedServRx support for patients who can’t afford prescriptions

On participating health system’s MedServRx websites, patients who can’t afford their prescriptions are encouraged to report the problem to their providers. MedServRx is often able to help qualify those patients for additional financial support.
