The solution is a plug-in module for EMRs like Epic and Cerner. It listens for new prescriptions and searches external databases for matching discount offers from various partners. Medicom Health's technology adds brand name and generic savings offers into the patient records automatically. The discounts are easily available on the printed paperwork handed to each qualified patient at discharge. Because the system runs behind the scenes, it does not alter physician workflow or influence prescribing.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers already provide discounts and free trial offers through DTC channels, but most patients don't take advantage of them for various reasons, including awareness and access issues.

"Dramatically reducing the cost of medications for patients improves their adherence and ultimately their health," says Will Sigsbee, CEO of Medicom Health. "We make meaningful impact on adherence because of the volume and quality of our discount offers, and reduced friction in delivering them. Every qualified patient is eligible for effortless access to discounts for every prescription."

Increased adherence results in many benefits to patients and providers, including better outcomes, patient satisfaction, pharmacy revenues, and more. Hospitals in the United States are accountable for resulting readmission costs, poor outcomes, and low HCAHP scores.
