EnvisionInsurance Partnership with RxAnte Uses Predictive Technologies to Improve Care and Costs for Patients with Chronic Conditions
Portland, ME. (PRWEB) July 19, 2016 -- RxAnte, LLC, the leading platform for improving medication use and drug therapy outcomes through predictive analytics, announced today that it is continuing its partnership with EnvisionInsurance, a national provider of Medicare Part D plans and a division of EnvisionRxOptions. Through this partnership, RxAnte uses data from large populations of patients to predict the future likelihood of individual patients to adhere to their prescribed medication therapies. Applying these predictions, Envision and RxAnte develop customized interventions and outreach programs for each member, which improves health outcomes and better controls costs for members, the plan and our federal government.
With nearly seven of every ten Medicare beneficiaries having two or more chronic conditions (Center for Disease Control, 2013) and many new, higher-cost specialty medications in market, it is more important than ever for Part D plans to ensure members maintain their prescribed drug therapies—so important that CMS tracks and publicly shares how well individual Part D plans support members through Star scores. RxAnte’s existing Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan clients have improved medication adherence in key Star Rating therapy areas, and the extension of the RxAnte and Envision relationship continues to build on prior success, which saw medication adherence rates improve faster than the national industry average. Going forward, the partnership looks to further improve on patient health outcomes and Envision’s own Star measures by improving medication adherence and the behaviors of Part D members with high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes medications.
“EnvisionInsurance is committed to delivering best-in-class quality programs that improve medication use among our patient populations, which in turn help them lead healthier, happier lives,” said Bill Epling, president of EnvisionInsurance. “Through our partnership with RxAnte, we have seen impressive gains across all three adherence therapy areas, contributing to successful clinical outcomes.”
“Our partnership continues to give EnvisionInsurance the decision support to improve health outcomes and clinical care for its members,” said Josh Benner, Pharm D, president of RxAnte. “We’re looking forward to continuing with Envision and leveraging technology to improve the member pharmacy care experience.”
