Six in ten adults report taking at least one prescription medicine, while one quarter say they take four or more, according to the health policy organization KFF.* That can add up to long lines at the local pharmacy — and a lot of time spent waiting, when we could be doing… well, almost anything else.
It’s no wonder, then, that the availability of home delivery can be such an important component of a prescription benefit plan. Take CarelonRx Pharmacy, for example. It’s an enhanced, digital-first pharmacy solution that offers pharmacy care that's: simple, affordable, and personalized.
Participating plan members:
- Can get status updates on their prescription — from order to delivery
- Can chat 24/7 with a pharmacist for answers to questions about their medicine
- Receive refill reminders, automatic refills, and drug interaction alerts
Further, when your prescription benefit is integrated with your health benefit, CarelonRx can combine medical and pharmacy data using advanced analytics to provide whole-person care — offering member experiences that drive adherence and affordability, and see overall health outcomes improve.
In fact, a CarelonRx internal analysis in 2023 revealed that commercial members who moved from retail to home delivery had lower use of medical services and medical costs.
All orders are checked by a licensed pharmacist before shipping. CarelonRx Pharmacy’s discreet packaging is tamperproof, weatherproof, and temperature controlled, if needed.
But plan members don’t just save time. Many medications cost less when filled with a 90-day supply instead of three 30-day supplies — and standard shipping is always free. Because time is money, but money is money, too.
