Lewis Drug adds new patient service

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Lewis Drug will implement the iMedicare platform at its 45 pharmacy locations.

The iMedicare platform provides a software solution allowing customers to find and switch Medicare plans during the open enrollment period, and continues to offer the resource throughout the year.

"iMedicare has really streamlined the process of assisting patients with their Medicare Part D decision making. It has also been extremely helpful when trying to find a formulary alternative for certain medications that are not covered by a part D plan,” said Heather Storey, PharmD and Lead Clinical Pharmacist at Lewis Drug.

More than 5,000 pharmacies offer iMedicare as a patient service.

“We are honored to work with Lewis Drug to automate many of the time-consuming decision making processes related to Medicare,” said Flaviu Simihaian, CEO of iMedicare. “This is a critical time in the industry, and we at iMedicare use innovation to give pharmacies a tremendous advantage every day.”

Sioux Falls-based Lewis Drug pharmacies are located in South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota.
