Discount Drug Mart is dedicated to implementing innovative pharmacy software services to provide customers with superior patient care. The partnership between iMedicare and Discount Drug Mart will expand the current pharmacy service offerings to assist patients with evaluating Medicare plan options based on their specific medications and needs.

“iMedicare has proven valuable for our pharmacists when providing support for our patients trying to navigate the maze that Medicare plan selection can be,” said Jason Briscoe, Drug Mart’s Director, Pharmacy Operations. “The user-friendly platform provides accurate information within a matter of seconds. As we continue to expand our role as healthcare providers, there is nothing more valuable to a pharmacist than time.”

The affiliation between iMedicare and Discount Drug Mart will provide pharmacists with access to automated software that seamlessly integrates into pharmacies’ current workflow. Implementing the timesaving plan comparison platform, which delivers easy-to-understand information about local and national Medicare plans, is imperative to ensuring long-term pharmacy success and improved patient outcomes.

“We are excited to partner with Discount Drug Mart to help expand the superior care they already offer their patients,” said Flaviu Simihaian, CEO of iMedicare. “With 10,000 folks turning 65 every day, the importance of personalized counseling has never been greater, yet the time a pharmacist has available is more constrained. iMedicare empowers pharmacies to offer that quality consultation while also remaining in workflow and saving time.”
