FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rite Aid recommits to filling workers’ compensation prescriptions through ScripNet network.
LAS VEGAS, NV – May 26, 2009, ScripNet, a nationwide pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) who contracts with workers’ compensation insurance carriers and pharmacies, announced a renewed relationship with Rite Aid, who will continue to fill prescriptions for ScripNet workers’ compensation customers.
“Rite Aid is a valuable member of ScripNet’s 49,351 nationwide pharmacy network,” said Dennis Sponer, president and CEO, ScripNet. “ScripNet and Rite Aid work closely together to ensure that injured workers receive the most appropriate medications in a timely and cost effective manner. ScripNet issues personalized pharmacy cards to injured workers who are covered by insurance carriers and self insured customers, so injured workers can go into a Rite Aid pharmacy and the pharmacist can electronically ping our point of sale network and database. We are not only able to tell the pharmacist it is a covered worker, but which drugs are most appropriate for that injured worker, based on our injury-specific formulary,” said Sponer.
