Discount Drug Mart to offer patients iMedicare plan comparison

NEW YORK and MEDINA, Ohio — Discount Drug Mart and iMedicare on Thursday announced their new partnership that will bring iMedicare’s Medicare plan comparison platform to patients at all 73 Discount Drug Mart Locations. 

 

“iMedicare has proven valuable for our pharmacists when providing support for our patients trying to navigate the maze that Medicare plan selection can be,” Discount Drug Mart pharmacy operations director Jason Briscoe said. “The user-friendly platform provides accurate information within a matter of seconds. As we continue to expand our role as healthcare providers, there is nothing more valuable to a pharmacist than time.”

 

The partnership with Discount Drug Mart is the second in the new year for iMedicare, which announced a new partnership with Lewis Drug Jan. 4. 

 

iMedicare’s platform integrates into a pharmacist’s existing workflow and delivers easy-to-understand information about local and national Medicare plans, the companies said.

 

“We are excited to partner with Discount Drug Mart to help expand the superior care they already offer their patients,” iMedicare CEO Flaviu Simihaian said. “With 10,000 folks turning 65 every day, the importance of personalized counseling has never been greater, yet the time a pharmacist has available is more constrained. iMedicare empowers pharmacies to offer that quality consultation while also remaining in workflow and saving time.”
