Medication Questions? We Have Answers

ScriptSave WellRx App members now have access to pharmacists’ advice through new agreement with SinfoníaRx

TUCSON, AZ (April 19, 2016) – More than half a million ScriptSave WellRx members will now have access to a pharmacist’s advice and answers to medication questions through an agreement with SinfoníaRx, an innovative medication management company.

“ScriptSave WellRx members already have great value, education and service when purchasing prescriptions and over-the-counter medications,” said Marcus Sredzinski, PharmD, Medical Security Card Company’s (MSC) Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President. “As one of the nation’s premier medication management companies, SinfoníaRx’s pharmacists bring an important component to ScriptSave WellRx, offering medication information to our members if they have a question about drug interaction, dosage or alternatives.”

“Our ability to help patients by leveraging the latest technology makes this partnership with MSC a natural fit,” said Kevin Boesen, PharmD, SinfoníaRx Chief Executive Officer. “Our companies share the same goal – to ensure patients follow their prescribed medication regimens to achieve better health outcomes. The ScriptSave WellRx app also gives patients the ability to reduce their out-of-pocket drug costs, which can be a huge barrier to medication adherence and improved health.”

“MSC launched the ScriptSave WellRx app in October 2015, and is one of the first in the nation. It was listed earlier this year by Mashable as one of the 10 apps increasing health care access for low-income patients,” Sredzinski explained. Available for iPhones and Androids, the free app can be used at more than 62,000 pharmacies across the United States to discount prescription costs if the medication isn’t covered under a health plan. App users are realizing up to 75 percent savings and an average of 44 percent discounts on medications.

Both companies have deep roots in Tucson, a city known for health care technology innovation, from developing some of the first medical records electronic management systems to creating computerized pathology tests which helped speed diagnosis and identify treatment. “Developing this relationship between SinfoníaRx and ScriptSave WellRx was a natural, integrating these different aspects of medication management and prescription savings to help patients,” Sredzinski said.

ScriptSave WellRx app users will be able to click-to-call directly through the app’s options to an on-call SinfoníaRx pharmacist, where they can ask about prescriptions, medication and/or food interactions, and over-the-counter drugs. The new pharmacist component is available for both iOS and Android, and on the ScriptSave WellRx website, wellrx.com.
