“Twenty minutes is an eternity in our business, where literally every second counts,” says Priyank, who owns three pharmacies in New York: one in the Bronx and two in Yonkers. “The Real-Time Prescription Benefit solution has essentially solved this problem for us, while at the same time, providing a much better experience for our patients.”
Priyank says his road to pharmacy ownership felt inevitable. “I’ve always wanted to help people, and I’ve always had an interest in health care.” That’s why instances of patients having to leave the pharmacy without their medications were especially heartbreaking. “This was happening multiple times per day, to maybe 20% of our patients, and the logical result was an increase in non-adherence.”
Priyank’s trio of pharmacies includes Felicity Pharmacy in the Bronx, and Getty Square Pharmacy and Health Rx Pharmacy in Yonkers. Both Felicity and Getty Square serve patients who mostly rely on Medicare and Medicaid.
