New Fund Raising Tool Available Nationwide
The Pharmacy SmartCard is Now Available for Sale by Not-For-Profit
Organizations as a Fund Raising Tool.
July 1, 2003 -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Pharmacy SmartCard is Now Available for Sale by Not-For-Profit Organizations
as a Fund Raising Tool.
BoysTown, NE July 1, 2003 - Traditionally, The Pharmacy SmartCard, from
Pharmaceutical Technologies, Inc. and the National Pharmaceutical Services,(NPS),network
has only been available for sale through Retail Pharmacy sites and insurance
plans.
Recently, www.smartrxcard.com and PTI-NPS
have joined to market a non-insured
version of The Pharmacy SmartCard for sale directly to through Not-For-Profit
organizations. Physician
groups
and Pharmacy owners have helped to develop this unique program called The
Pharmacy SmartCard so that now consumers can have the same advantage as the
insurance companies when paying for prescriptions. The
Pharmacy SmartCard will price check your prescription drugs in order to approve
the
amount paid at the pharmacy to the lowest possible price. The program will
instantly
notify the pharmacy of alternatives that may provide greater savings for the
consumer
without sacrificing quality.
"The company has been in business for over 10 years and there are over 1.4
million
people currently using our Pharmacy SmartCard programs. With prescription costs
going up and President Bush's and Congress's proposals leaving most people
feeling
like there is no relief in sight, NPS pharmacy providers thought it was time to
give the
same advantages the insurance companies enjoy, directly to the consumer", said
Mr.
Doug Pick, Pharmacist and President of Pharmaceutical Technologies, Inc. "We
have
a track record in which we can prove an average savings of $270 per Pharmacy
SmartCard per year", he said. The savings are from using effective generic
products
manufactured and stored here in the United States and physician support of the
preferred brand drugs while using community pharmacy practice sites. These
solutions are proven to the consumer with direct to the home healthcare
reporting twice a year!
We would also like to introduce the idea of private labeling The Pharmacy
SmartCard for "Not For Profit" organizations as a fund raising tool. We
have developed special pricing for Not for Profit organizations so that they may
offer this valuable money saving service to their members and generate non dues
or fees income to be used to advance the goals of the organization. The
organization does not need to carry an inventory as we can ship on demand,
provide "print on demand" technology with blank kit stock, and/or provide web
store integration assistance. We have developed advertising programs with
companies such as Val-Pak and would be interested in exploring joint advertising
opportunities
The
Pharmacy SmartCard covers the whole family for a whole year; no limits, Brand
and
Generic drugs will be automatically repriced at the pharmacist counter. PTI will
mail a
"Proof of Savings Report" to the customer 2 times per year. 50,000
pharmacists nationwide already accept The Pharmacy SmartCard. ###
