Sarasota-Based Firm Helps Companies And Individuals Reduce Expenditures On Medications
Genuity Group, a technology consulting firm specializing in healthcare, announces EquivaMeds. EquivaMeds is a prescription drug research tool that helps individuals identify affordable drug options to discuss with their doctor and pharmacist. Genuity and Dr. Frank Burns M.D. spent two years developing web based EquivaMeds.
Dr. Burns has a deep conviction that there are cost-effective medication alternatives available for most patients under most circumstances. His desire is that patients get the information necessary to discuss these potential alternatives with their physician. Now with EquivaMeds they can.
According to Genuity President & CEO Philip St. John, EquivaMeds is helping both consumers and employers lower healthcare costs. “People using EquivaMeds save, on average, $893 per year. The process can be completed in three easy steps, costs only $19.95 and the cost is refunded if the system can’t identify at least $120 dollars in annual savings,” states St. John.
Patients suffering from acid reflux, allergies, angina, anxiety, arthritis, depression, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or stroke typically find the greatest opportunities to save. The medications recommended by EquivaMeds are proven drugs that have been on the market and prescribed for years.
Consumers can print a report to discuss with their doctors or, if they are uncomfortable with the subject, EquivaMeds can contact the doctor on the patient’s behalf using an automated fax system. Either way, the physician’s role is respected throughout the process. The doctor makes the final decision and writes the prescription.
