We’re calling to introduce ourselves.” – Aqueelah Charles on EmpiRx Health’s unique MCA program, and putting members’ needs first.

Client Spotlight

Bob Sankey, Healthcare Plan and Benefits Coordinator, Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, PA on EmpiRx Health’s clinically-driven approach, powered by Clinically:

“When we started our engagement with EmpiRx Health, we found that the collaboration between EmpiRx Health’s clinical pharmacists and our members has been the leading driver of our success to date.

The system we use with EmpiRx Health is pharmacist-driven, which effectively takes the barriers out of member care. It’s the right care at the right time. EmpiRx Health’s clinically-driven care model is much better than the traditional PBM approach that emphasizes rebates and drug volume rather than healthcare value.”
