PrescribeWellness, ScopiaRx announce strategic partnership

IRVINE, Calif. — PrescribeWellness, a cloud-based services company aimed at empowering pharmacist’s ability to provide preventive healthcare services, has inked a strategic partnership with ScopiaRx, a cloud-based services company that identifies drug-related risks in patients taking multiple medications.



“We are thrilled to partner with PrescribeWellness," said Jeffrey Huth, president and founder of ScopiaRx. "Fifty-two million Americans take three or more medications each day, and the adverse consequences of this polypharmacy are staggering. Two million people suffer complications from side effects each year. We are excited to focus on this strategic relationship and the highly meaningful value our combined services can provide to potentially millions of patients across the country."



PrescribeWellness offers technological solutions designed to elevate the community pharmacist’s role in providing preventative healthcare services. The software is designed to make it easier for pharmacies to build a customer loyalty and provide extended services such as appointment-based medication delivery. PrescribeWellness solutions can improve a patient’s medication adherence and the pharmacy’s Star Ratings.



“We are moving at a pace that exceeds our expectations to serve 8,000 community pharmacies by the end of 2015,” said Al Babbington, president and co-founder of PrescribeWellness. “We are not deviating from our focus of serving our new and existing clients, but their margins are getting squeezed faster than the models that are being created to compensate them differently for healthier outcomes of their patients. We must act now and accelerate our efforts to create additional revenue streams for our clients. Our partnership with ScopiaRx will allow us to do just that.”



In separate news, PrescribeWellness has added Huth to its clinical advisory team.



“We are pleased that Dr. Huth has agreed to join our team of clinical advisors,” said Babbington, president and co-founder of PrescribeWellness. “We have bold plans to accelerate our efforts to create innovative revenue opportunities for our clients. Dr. Huth brings a wealth of experience in working with self-insured businesses and payers to create and implement models to generate healthcare cost savings. We are excited to be able to leverage his experience.”
