Business Wire

DEERFIELD - EnvisionRx, the pharmacy benefit management (PBM) division of an Ohio-based EnvisionRxOptions, and Walgreens announced a new 90-day pharmacy program focused on changing behaviors and improving health for patients with chronic conditions.

Rx90, now available for EnvisionRx clients, gives patients the option to fill 90-day prescriptions at any of the nearly 8,200 Walgreens pharmacies nationwide, for the same price as home delivery through EnvisionPharmacies' mail service. In addition to Walgreens, Rx90 offers access to 4,000 other retail pharmacies, making it the largest 90-day retail maintenance medication network in the country.

Using client-specific data and its own research, EnvisionRx is also able to provide health plans and employers with recommendations on customizing their benefit design, communications and clinical strategies to meet their individual needs. Rx90 will help plan sponsors better control drug spend and reduce costly medical expenses associated with increased visits to physicians and emergency rooms, as well as extended hospitalizations.

"We're pleased to work with EnvisionRx to create a pharmacy solution that can benefit patients, health plans and employers, and reflects our commitment to provide greater care and service to our customers and patients," said Alex Gourlay, co-chief operating officer, Walgreens Boots Alliance. "Stronger collaboration with PBMs and health plans is critical in today's health care environment, to help ensure our patients can continue to get the medications they need at prices they can afford, and with the pharmacy support they depend upon."
