MOORESTOWN, N.J., Aug. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tabula Rasa HealthCare, Inc.® (TRHC) (NASDAQ: TRHC), a leading healthcare technology company advancing the safe use of medications, today announced an expanded partnership with eHealth, Inc., a licensed online health insurance marketplace with more than 200 carrier relationships, to offer a complementary Medicare Plan Review module to all PrescribeWellness client pharmacies throughout the country.
This partnership empowers pharmacists to engage and collaborate with patients on Medicare plan comparisons, further improving care
Medicare plan reviews are a critical way for pharmacists to engage with their patients, helping to achieve better outcomes for both patient and pharmacy. The eHealth solution helps patients find the best available plan for their prescription drug needs while keeping them with their pharmacy. Through this partnership, pharmacies will have access to a comprehensive solution for Medicare plan reviews, customized outreach during open enrollment and when patients turn 65, and an eCare plan to document clinical services.
"This partnership furthers our goal of helping pharmacists deliver total patient care through one of the most accessible pharmacy software platforms available, that includes proven tools such as the MedWise Risk Score™," said Farah Madhat, PharmD, MA, Executive Vice President, MedWise HealthCare Division at TRHC. "Studies show that more than 57% of Medicare beneficiaries do not review their coverage annually. Through partnerships like this, our PrescribeWellness platform empowers community pharmacists to collaborate and engage with patients on Medicare plan comparisons and enrollments, further improving patient care and expanding revenue and pharmacy performance."
With the newly enhanced Medicare Plan Review module, pharmacies will now have a consolidated dashboard with access to all Medicare plans to help patients find the plan that best fits their needs. Pharmacies have access to Medicare experts, can provide Medicare Advantage plan comparisons, and highlight plans covered at the pharmacy while facilitating safe and simple enrollment.
"We're pleased to team up with Tabula Rasa," said John Connor, eHealth's Vice President and General Manager of Strategic Partnerships. "eHealth's technology will allow Tabula Rasa's client pharmacists to more fully engage with their patients through a digital patient-facing portal, personalized shopping experiences, and access to licensed Medicare agents. It's a natural fit with eHealth's mission to connect everyone with quality, affordable health insurance and Medicare plans."
