An estimated 4 in 10 patients ask their pharmacist for less expensive medication alternatives. Responding to these requests is time-consuming, requiring  an estimated 20 minutes per patient.

PrimeRx™ pharmacy software, combined with the Real-Time Prescription Benefit powered by Surescripts® interface, gives pharmacists immediate visibility into patient medication benefits and provides options for cost-effective therapeutic alternatives.

Real-Time Prescription Benefit delivers this information directly from a patient’s benefit plan. Continue Reading >>
