HealthRamp RxPricePoint(TM) to Provide Competitive Drug Pricing on
a Handheld Device at the Point of Care Patent Pending Technology to
Cover Innovation in Electronic Prescribing NEW YORK, Dec. 10
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medix Resources, Inc. today announced
that its HealthRamp CarePoint(TM) technology is being extended to
deliver its RxPricePoint program at the point of prescribing on a
handheld device. HealthRamp's patent pending RxPricePoint
technology will enable pricing data to be gathered from pharmacies
to provide physicians with the lowest cost pharmacy option for a
given patient at the point of care. Medix, through its wholly owned
HealthRamp subsidiary, markets the CarePoint suite of technologies.
RxPricePoint lets physicians show their patients the pharmacy, mail
order or retail, where they can locate the lowest priced drugs for
their prescription. Physicians will also be able to inform their
patients of the pharmacy with the best price for fulfilling any
portfolio of prescriptions. Pharmacies participating in the program
will pay HealthRamp a transaction fee for every prescription filled
through RxPricePoint. Patients will be able to utilize the
HealthRamp website to search for the lowest cost drugs in their
area, enabling them to proactively deliver this information to
their physicians. Further information about RxPricePoint will be
available on our website, at http://www.healthramp.com/rxpricepoint
, and it is expected that RxPricePoint will be made available by
the end of the first quarter of 2004. "Using the free market to
bring down the price of drugs is extremely important," according to
Nevada State Senator Ray Rawson. Rawson, a veteran Nevada
legislator and a dentist, works with state governments across the
country on reform measures. "Legislatures should begin looking at
ways to assist pharmacies and drug stores in the regular posting of
their prescription drug prices. We now have everyday technology
that can bring those prices right into the physician's office and
directly into the hands of patients," stated Rawson. "This full
disclosure of retail prices will create an instant competitive
environment that should result in a significant savings to patients
and taxpayers," concluded Rawson. "By providing drug pricing data
at the point of care, RxPricePoint should over time lower the cost
of prescription drugs to society as a whole. The opportunity to
present real-time pricing data will allow pharmacies to better
market themselves and manage their operations more efficiently.
CarePoint is the link to the physician, over which we expect many
healthcare innovations to evolve," stated Darryl Cohen, Medix CEO
and Chairman. Medix, through its wholly owned HealthRamp
subsidiary, markets the CarePoint suite of technologies. CarePoint
enables electronic prescribing, lab orders and results,
Internet-based communication, data integration, and transaction
processing over a handheld device or browser, at the point-of-
care. The combination of these technologies is designed to provide
access to safer and better healthcare. Medix's products enable
communication of high value-added healthcare information among
physician offices, pharmacies, hospitals, pharmacy benefit
managers, health management organizations, pharmaceutical companies
and health insurance companies. Additional information about
