EmpiRx Health worked closely with pharmacy leaders across the nation to create AllyRx, which was designed to revolutionize pharmacy benefits care and counter the traditional PBM companies which too often work against the best interests of pharmacies.
Community pharmacies are the backbone of our nation's healthcare system. However, the anti-competitive practices of the largest PBM companies pose a serious threat to local pharmacies and are forcing them to close at an alarming rate. According to the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS), more than 5,800 pharmacies have closedsince 2018 – leaving communities across 800+ zip codes without access to the trusted, affordable healthcare services that are the hallmarks of the local pharmacy.
ThenewAllyRx network will leverage EmpiRx Health's unique pharmacist-centric service model and AI-powered technology platform to bring a first-class, pharmacy care experience to the employees, patients, and local partners of the nation's leading pharmacy and grocery chains. With its focus on Pharmacy Care for Pharmacies, AllyRx will advance a pharmacy-friendly version of pharmacy benefits management that partners with pharmacies so they can continue to thrive and serve the patients and communities that rely on them across America.
“When I meet with pharmacy leaders across the country, I always ask them the same question: Why do you continue to use the traditional PBMcompaniestomanageyourpharmacybenefits programs when you know their business modelscan negatively impact your own pharmacies,” said Danny Sanchez, Chief Executive Officer of EmpiRx Health. “Not only do the largest PBMs control more than 80% of the pharmacy care market, but their self-dealing business practicesalso pose a serious threat to community pharmacies, who are essential to the nation's healthcare.”
“AllyRx will change all of that,” said Sanchez. “Our new national pharmacy network was designed in close collaboration with retail pharmacy leaders and purpose-built to enable their pharmacies, employees, and customers to experience the best pharmacy care while lowering the costs of prescription drugs. Powered by EmpiRx Health's pharmacist-led model, AllyRx will help to return pharmacy benefits management to its original patient health focused mission. AllyRx will achieve that by strongly supporting pharmacies, not threatening their very existence.”
In addition to its unique pharmacist-led PBM services, AllyRx will also support pharmacy and grocery retailers with an innovative new solution that enhances their customer loyalty programs. This breakthrough solution enables combined pharmacy and grocery chains to reward patients for adhering to their medication therapies by giving them coupons for healthy food purchases. The program will help to strengthen patient health outcomes while increasing pharmacy and front-of-store growth.
