Client Profile
It may be surprising, but even health care industry clients such as nursing homes and long-term care facilities are looking for answers to control pharmaceutical costs while ensuring their employees receive the medications they need. True Rx Health Strategists partners with several clients within the health care industry.
Their Challenge
One long-term care facility with 6,400 members was spending millions of dollars on pharmaceuticals, in particular, on specialty medications. They knew they needed big changes and it would require clear communications to their employees and in their reporting processes.
