Pharmaceutical services provider TrialCard announced today that it has entered into a partnership with OptimizeRx (OTCQB:OPRX) to integrate its coupon and co-pay offerings with OptimizeRx electronic health record (EHR) technology. OptimizeRx, which has partnerships that reach over 350 EHRs, will provide TrialCard with a platform to distribute patient savings offers on behalf of its pharmaceutical manufacturer clients. Estimates project that electronic prescribing volume could be as high as 2 billion prescriptions in 2016, and a 2012 Atlantic Information Services, Inc. study indicated that 80% of physicians were more likely to prescribe a drug with a co-pay savings card.
“EHR represents a very important distribution channel for our clients,” said TrialCard President and CEO Mark Bouck. “By forging a partnership with OptimizeRx and capitalizing on their expansive reach we’re making it significantly easier for manufacturers to offer a financial savings vehicle to patients at the point of prescribing.”
Pharmaceutical manufacturers that are currently partnering with TrialCard will now be able to incorporate the OptimizeRx service offering into their co-pay savings program.
