RXVIP Concierge Partners With NeedyMeds to Educate Patients on Medication Savings Solutions
Two Prominent Patient Advocates Work Together to Educate Pharmacists So They Can Help Patients Save on Medication Costs
Westbury, NY, January 19, 2016 (Newswire.com) - RXVIP Concierge, a network of Concierge Pharmacists, evaluates patients’ medications to ensure the best quality of care. To further that mission, RXVIP is partnering with NeedyMeds, a national nonprofit that educates and empowers those seeking affordable healthcare.
“RXVIP Concierge Pharmacists are now trained experts in accessing all NeedyMeds resources including prescription assistance and diagnosis-based assistance programs with the goal of passing the information and savings directly to the patients we work with,” says Ken Sternfeld, Founder and Director of New Business Development of RXVIP Concierge.
In addition to offering a savings card that is accepted at more than 63,000 pharmacies, RXVIP Concierge Pharmacists have been trained to use patient assistance software, enabling them to apply for patient assistance programs on behalf of those that qualify.
“In order to truly help our patients save money on their prescriptions, we take the time to properly counsel them as part of our collaborative practice agreements with physicians. This is not traditionally available in retail pharmacy settings,” Sternfeld said.
The partnering of RXVIP and NeedyMeds will allow outreach to a much broader population who are seeking solutions to ever-growing medication and health-related costs. According to Rich Sagall, M.D., NeedyMeds President, “The missions of both RXVIP and NeedyMeds clearly align. We are proud to join forces with such an innovative organization that is making great strides in changing, for the better, the way our healthcare system works.”
